I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Classical type & due to this I have to have routine echocardiograms to check the Aorta which as been fine since my first echo around 25 years ago. I have had a total of 5 echos now & they all have shown a mild regurgitation of the mitral valve. I had my last echo in June 2019 & I have just received my results. Everything is normal & within normal range but I now have a mild regurgitation on the tricuspid valve plus what is concerning me is the PAp reading (Pulmonary artery pressure) which is reading 28mmhg RAp

My VTR (Tricuspid regurgitation) is 2.64m/s so using the Bernoulli equation: sRVP = 4 x TRvel2 RAP

I get 31mmhg which is within reason depending what part of the world you are in. I have no symptoms what so ever & I go to the gym 4 nights per week & can do cardio for an hour with absolutely no loss of breath.

Should I be worried?
