This is my sons report from his cardiologist,I am not sure what the following statements mean. "there is mild aortic stenosis with a maximal velocity of 2.17 meters per second and extimated peak gradient of 18 mmHg & a mean gradient of 6.9 mmHg. There is mild aortic insufficiency, the width of the jet at the level of the valve is actually quite narrow, the jet does fan out iin certain views to the left outflow tract. no flow reversal within aortic arch in diastole. The acsending aorta is dilated. The remainder of the exam in unremarkable. There are no restrictions however very isometric sports will not be suggested as he gets older." Can someone put this into terms for me if you know. THANKS!!!

you do want the cardiologist to exlpain this further with diagrams though, but mild aortic stenosis means the outflow from the heart into the aorta is mildly narrow, mild insuffucuency means there has to be some flow back when the valce closes but he also says there is no flwo reversal so I am a bit confused, thirdly he says the ascending aorta is dilated, ask him how much, he probably wants to monitor it on a frequent basis if it gets worse or not. last isometric sports will not be sugested means he is not clear for sports at the moment, ask when will he be or does he need surgical intervention to be able to participate. The key is you need a lengthy discussion with the cardiologist, good luck

The boys has a mild aortic stenosis with some insuffiency, and he is not to play football or basketball when he gets older.

Your cardiologist has a medical duty to fully explain both the meaning and the implications of this and all other reports of findings.

i think of it truly is somewhat ridiculous which you slapped a collection of random "names" ( of which i'm additionally skeptical of the certainly meanings) assuming that absolutely everyone Natives are interchangeable with one yet another, and it concerns no longer which united states a attractiveness comes from. in the experience that your guy is Jamaican, why the hell could his kinfolk be named random interior sight words, from undetermined interior sight international locations......in the event that they're solid in any respect. Nonsense.
