For the disease of mild regurgitation of the heart's mitral and tricuspid valves, which belongs to heart valve disorders, it can be improved with medication. However, this disease tends to recur, particularly in cases of upper respiratory tract infections or under the influence of inflammation, which can provoke the onset of this disease. This condition primarily manifests as symptoms like palpitations, chest tightness, and shortness of breath in patients. These symptoms especially include paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. Occasionally, there may also be swelling in the lower limbs. With aggressive medical treatment, these issues can be managed, but it is also advisable for patients to regularly come to the hospital for follow-up checks.

Mild tricuspid and mitral valve regurgitation, what's the matter?

Mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation can be seen in normal individuals. As people age, factors such as valve degeneration can lead to mild regurgitation of the mitral and tricuspid valves. This condition does not require special treatment, and generally does not lead to adverse outcomes. Of course, certain diseases that cause heart enlargement can lead to widening of the valve rings, thus causing mild regurgitation of the mitral and tricuspid valves. For disease-induced mild regurgitation of these valves, it is crucial to actively treat the underlying disease causing heart enlargement, to prevent further enlargement of the heart and worsening of the regurgitation, thereby aggravating the condition of the heart disease.

Why does mitral stenosis cause enlargement of the left atrium?

Because mitral stenosis can lead to changes in the mitral valve, particularly causing excessive pressure in the left ventricle, this excessive pressure can lead to enlargement of the left atrium, which are complementary conditions. During this period, it is still important to actively manage the condition, using medication treatment. If the area of stenosis is relatively large, surgical treatment is needed, as balloon dilation can currently be used to alleviate this condition. Early treatment is best to relieve clinical symptoms. At the same time, it is also important to actively monitor changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse, so as to control the heart rate and reduce myocardial oxygen consumption.

Can mitral stenosis patients eat donkey-hide gelatin?

Mitral stenosis patients can consume donkey-hide gelatin, but the gelatin itself does not treat mitral stenosis. If there is mitral stenosis, especially severe stenosis, surgery should be undertaken as soon as possible. Without surgical treatment, as time progresses, mitral stenosis can cause the left atrium to enlarge, leading to atrial fibrillation, arrhythmias, and symptoms of heart failure. Additionally, atrial fibrillation can easily lead to thrombotic complications, such as causing a cerebral infarction. Severe cerebral infarction can lead to hemiplegia, long-term bed rest, significantly impacting the patient's quality of life, and increasing economic burdens. Early surgery can effectively prevent these complications.

Can mitral stenosis be repaired?

Mitral stenosis sometimes requires surgical treatment to achieve repair standards, but it cannot be repaired solely through medication, as medications only relieve symptoms and cannot serve the purpose of treatment. This disease can cause ischemic and hypoxic changes, leading to heart failure. Patients typically present with a rumbling murmur in the precordial area, and may also experience palpitations, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms. It is sometimes crucial to actively monitor changes in the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse. The treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic relief, improving heart function, and may include the administration of low-flow oxygen inhalation to help alleviate the current condition of the patient.
