[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I’m the pp who was enlightened by this threat to get my heart checked out.   I shouldn’t have read the results of the echo on a Friday night as now I’m wondering what the heck “mild to moderate aortic insufficiency” means!   I have the full trans echo as well as the stress echo earlier today.  The trans echo resulted in the quote from above, plus some mild regurgitation.   I’m not sure what the results of the stress echo mean, but it says my hearts capacity with exercise  is “average” (I’m a high achiever who lives a healthy and active life this makes me sad!!)[/quote]

What does mild to moderate aortic insufficiency mean?
Aortic regurgitation (insufficiency) is when your aortic valve doesn't close tightly, so blood leaks backward with each heartbeat. You may have no symptoms at first, but as the condition worsens, you may have chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations. Over time, a leaky aortic valve can damage your heart.Oct 31, 2022
