Finally, I had my echo done 6 weeks after my pacemaker implant. Pacemaker was implanted for 2nd deg. AV block-excersise & meal induced only.
Now the Dr. says my Mitral regurgitation is more than moderate. Left Atrium is slightly dilated measures about 41mm. My echo's have always said mild mitral regurgitation. I have no significant symptoms. Normal type of SOB when I do physical activity-thats about it.
The septal thickness is the same 2.2cm, there is no obstruction. No gradient. I did see during the echo that mitral valve was touching the septum.
My question is has anybody had septal ablation done for mitral regurgitation ?
Without having obstruction, can septal reduction help mitral leak?
Thoughts ????
