What Does Aortic Valve Regurgitation And Repolarization On The EKG Indicate?
My son went in for a SCA screening and a trace Aortic valve regurgitation was found on the Echo and early repolarization on the EKG. After, thinking about his activities lately he has been tired, SOB during activities and has had a nonproductive cough for several weeks. Should I follow-up with a cardiologist? My son is 16 years old, 6'2, 205 lbs he is very athletic

Hi,
Mild aortic regurgitation along with EKG abnormality changes will cause no complaints, so your son's complaints are not caused by heart problems. If he has cough then it may be caused by bronchitis. I would advise you to see a doctor to check his lungs.
Take care
