No regional wall motion abnormalitis noted. Diastolgy diastolic parameters c/w normal LV filling pressures. Right Ventricle: TAPSE= 2.3cm. RV peak systolic tissue velocity = 12 cm/sec. Low normal systolic funtion. Borderline mildy dialated RV (RVIDd basal 41mm, mid 31mm). Atria: They atrial septum appears thin. A patent foramen ovale is present. Th left atrium is mildly dilated. The left atrial volumeindexed to patients BSA is 32 ml/sq.m. Right atrial size is normal. Mitral Valve: The mitral valve is normal. There is no mitral valve stenosis. There is trace mitral regurgatation. Aortic Valve: The aortic valve is trileaflet. The aortic valve opens well. No hemodynamically significent valvular aortic stenosis. No aortic regurgatation is present. Pulmonic Valve: The pulmonic valve leaflets are this and pliable; valve motion is normal. There is no pulnomic valvular stenosis. There is no pulnomic regurgatation.Tricuspid Valve: The tricuspid valve is normal. no tricuspid regurgation or tricuspid stenosis. Pericardium/pleural: There is no pericadial effusion.
