Hello carlysmith011. thank you for your reply. The echo you had that showed "mild-moderate stenosis not critical"...was that a resting 2D echo? or was it found on a Stress Echo? Which valve had stenosis? Did the echo show regurgitation? What were your symptoms? I really feel that my symptoms are from a faulty valve but they will not check them beyond the resting echo which was normal. Sorry for all the questions but I've been searching for an answer since 2006. Thank you.

it was the result of a 2D echo that gave me the incorrect results. a stress echo showed some slight problems, and a cath showed my valve was critical. the echo did show mild regurgitation. my symptoms where major fatigue, severe shortness of breath, tachycardia and chest pain.

Carly- Is it your Mitral Valve?

Aortic valve

Sounds like an incompetent echo operator or anaylyst! A proper echo test will show the pressure on both sides of the aortic valve and others, as well as show a visual image that an experience operator should be able to see and say OMG, that flow is too low. Maryd, If you have a future echo test, consider having it done at a DIFFERENT place so you get a different analyzer.
