cardiac note - reading MRI results - beatlesfan


Posted: Nov 07, 2009

His MRI was similar to his echocardiogram, which clearly shows pulmonary regurgitation, but with a moderately s/l "plus" dilated red ventricle, and moderate pulmonary regurgitation.

 

I can clearly hear plus, but wondered if this was correct or + sign??  thanks!

It's "right" (not red) ventricle... - elaine

isn't it crazy what you might type when tired??!! I knew better than that, but thanks for point it out!

I swear the fingers have a mind of their own!...sm - elaine

by the way...

I'm thinking about your sentence, and I realize that it doesn't make sense to me that "pulmonary regurgitation" comes up twice. Could one of them be something else, like "mitral regurgitation", perhaps?

Moderately+ sm - Sunny Day

The cardiologists I work for use "+" frequently, i.e. mild+, moderate+, etc. We use the "+" sign but you might want to check your account to see if they want "plus" spelled.
