I had a blackout and my MD was trying to find the problem. I also had an MRI that showed calcified placques on the brain. I otherwise feel ok other than some nausea and dizziness.

justme - It is difficult to answer your question without more information. The mitral valve and the tricuspid valve are the two valves in your heart that prevent blood from squirting backwards every time your heart beats. Almost everybody has at least a tiny little jet of blood that leaks backwards through these valves, and that is what we call valvular regurgitation. Whether this is serious or not depends on HOW MUCH regurgitation there is. If there is what we call "trace" mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, then it is completely normal. If there is what we call "severe" mitral and tricuspid regurgitation at the same time, that is something that requires evaluation by a cardiologist. It is possible for mitral regurgitation to present with a blackout, but unless the regurgitation is very severe, I doubt the two are related in your case. I urge you to have your doctor explain the findings of the echocardiogram in detail.
