I had an echo doppler on my heart today what is Mitral Valve & Tricuspid Valve - Regurgitation Trivial mean??

Question:

I want to join the police force and am having a medical and would like to know what these items mean, and wether i should be worried or are they nothing?
Thanks

Answers:
It means that there is a trivial amount of backflow of blood thru both of these valves. The abnormal flow of blood is backwards from the ventricles back to the atria, I use the pleural because it involves 2 valves. Only you know if this medical information will keep you off the force, and since it is so small, it may not even show up as a heart murmur. To put your mind at ease you would want to talk to a doctor, but it does not sound like it is a problem currently. Check back when you get older as heart valves tend to get stiffer, and calcify with age and this may become a larger leak as you age.

Go to WEB MD and when search comes up type in what you have typed above and they will bring up pages that will answer all of your questions. Good Luck.
