Hello friend,
With the question “Can tricuspid regurgitation 1.5/4 go away on its own? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your case has tricuspid valve regurgitation 1.5/4 is mild. Mild and physiological (asymptomatic) tricuspid regurgitation detected during routine echocardiography is still common. Tricuspid regurgitation (or valvular regurgitation in general), will not resolve on its own, but can sometimes be seen as increased (2/4) and decreased (1/4), depending on the operator or the ultrasound machine. If you have no symptoms such as fatigue or shortness of breath, especially on exertion, no treatment is needed.
What you need to do is to have a healthy lifestyle (a healthy diet, stay away from alcohol, tobacco, stimulants, and exercise regularly), and check the echocardiogram. year by year. When you have unusual symptoms (fatigue, shortness of breath), immediately see a cardiologist.
If you still have questions about tricuspid valve regurgitation 1.5/4, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
