[|Human|] can an echocardiogram be wrong i had two within 9 months totally different reading one in oct. said had a systolic pressure of 32  and a tricuspid valve with moderate leak, now 9 months later had another one says tricuspid valve has minor leak and mitro valve has moderate leak and systolic pressure now is 49. I asked doctor to retake test they said cannot until 6 months and want to do a right heart catherization to check pressure in heart. I feel this may be an incorrect test and do not want to subject myself to such a invasive test as a catherization
[|AI|]  Can help u more if you see in more detail both echo... Ur second report shows in crease pulmonary artery pressure ...what was Your mitral regurgitation previously...if long term mitral regurgitation is there it can increase right heart pressure and increase pulmonary pressure which is measured with help of tricuspid regurgitation... Need to take your detail history to find cause of tricuspid regurgitation... Rather than only echo finding need to understand problem... Your doctor will definitely tell you... Take care
