Avatar m tn LEFT VENTRICLE....There is concentric left ventricular hypertrophy. Ejection Fraction=55-60% AORTIC....The aortic is trileaflet. There is aortic sclerosis: Focal calcification. MITRAL VALVE....There is mitral regurgitation. TRICUSPID VALVE....The tricuspid valve is not well visualized. Everything seems to be normal. So, with all three of these procedures being done and put together, can you please tell me if there is anything I should be concern about?
Avatar m tn my findings said i had normal sinus rythm rate of 87bpm, with left ventricular hypertrophy
Avatar m tn I have hypertension and take Lotrel 10/20 and hydrochlorthiazide 25mg. I also had a nuclear adenosine stress test recently. The results of this test showed an area of reduced counts in the inferior wall after administration of adenosine and at rest. The ejection fraction was estimated at 49%. At the time of this test I was taking 25 mg of metoprolol in addition to the Lotrel and hydrochlorthiazide.
Avatar m tn Normal left ventricular size and function. Mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy. Mid to distal septal hypokinesis noted in some views. Endocardium not well visualized in some views. Left ventricular ejection fraction is 55% to 60%." My family doctor said the ventricular hypertrophy is so mild that she doesn't see it as any concern. She did say, however, that "distal septal hypokinesis noted in some views" is worth talking about.
Avatar n tn Hello, I had a question about my stress test results. My family doctor called me two days after my scan to tell me they were referring me to my cardiologist. I was admitted 4 yrs ago for what was concluded as false positive troponin levels and abnormal EKG. My heart rate also has run 100 to 110 most of my adult life. I am 46 and have a very heavy family history of lots of heart disease. I was advised to have this nuclear stress test because of an episode I had during a 5 k run 3 weeks agao.
Avatar m tn Wall motion study using gated SPECT, observed in the short VL and HL axis views showed normal left ventricular contractility in all myocardial segments calculated at 65%. No LV dilation or TID noted No LV hypertrophy noted. Quantitative gated SPECT shows normal LV volumes. Conclusions: Normal perfusion study, no ischemia or infarction noted No ischemia by ECG criteria. So my questions to any doctor or other cardiology expert is this really normal due I need a second opinion?
Avatar m tn Left ventricular hypertrophy results from an increase in left ventricular workload, e.g., during hypertension or aortic valve stenosis. Right ventricular hypertrophy results from an increase in right ventricular workload, e.g., emphysema or pulmonary embolization. These causes are fundamentally different from hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is a congenital misalignment of cardiomyocytes, resulting in hypertrophy.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with left ventricular hypertrophy on an echocardiogram in Jan. of 2010. I am age 60. The ejection fraction was estimated at 75%. The conclusions on the cardiologist report were left ventricular hypertrophy with ejc.Fraction of 75%, beginning stage of diastolic dysfunction, normal chamber sizes. Trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. I do have high blood pressure and take Lotrel 10/20 and hydrochlorthiazide 25mg.
Avatar f tn Instead of getting worried with the information you have from a casual glance at the EKG that the technician has given, I suggest that you wait and visit your doctor and discuss with him. Left ventricular hypertrophy can be detected on EKG, but the technician might not have mentioned it because it is not a major abnormality for which EKG is suggested.
Avatar m tn The left ventricular size is mildly enlarged. Right ventricular size is normal. Left ventricular wall motion is normal. Rest and stress SPECT images show a MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZE AREA OF MODERATE TO SEVERE FIXED PERFUSION DEFECT WITHOUT ANY REVERSIBILITY IN THE INFERIOR MYCOARDIUM with normal wall motion consisitent with diaphragmatic attenuation. No evidence of inducible ischemia. During the follow up appointment all I was told was that my stress test was normal.
Avatar m tn Well it depends. It depends on the thickness and of course how fit you are. Someone who does weight training or regular cardiovascular exercises such as aerobics or regular running will form thicker heart muscle on the left side. If the patient is not particularly fit, then it could be down to some form of disease. I think it would be wise for them to follow up with an echo scan to see the thickness.
Avatar m tn Gee, we must be reading different reports! QUOTE: "1.Left ventricle: normal left ventricular cavity size. Mild Concentric hypertrophy of the left ventricle. Severe Hypokinesis of the inferoseptal wall. EF Est. at 55-60% 2. Right Ventricle: Normal right ventricular size. Normal right ventricular global systolic function. 3. Left Atrium: Top normal left atrial size 4. Right Atrium: Normal right atrial size .....
Avatar m tn he said he didnt suspect any significant heart disease so i had a echo and a stress test. I did the stress test he said that my resting BP was OK 120/62. but when i excercised it went up maybe an indicator I will have high BP in the future. now the results of my echo is what is really scary because I am reading online about it.
Avatar f tn In the meantime, does anyone know what mild reversible photopenia in the septum in the anterior apical region means Also there is no right ventricular deposition There is no left ventricular dilatation with stress The stress stress was a piece of cake, however the waiting isn't. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar n tn my 2-echo results showed the following conclusion : concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with adequate contractility and systolic function, mitral sclerosis, mild tricuspid regurgitation, normal pulmonary artery pressure, color doppler flow shows : abnormal color flow display is noted across the mitral valve and tricuspid valve systole .systolic pulmonary artery pressure of 29 mmHg. what does these mean and what is the cure or how to prevent a heart attack.
1465137 tn?1286282479 could someone plaese tell me how its possible that 4 years ago i had a abnormal ECG saying left ventricular hypertrophy and right ventricular condouction delay, Altho i was told it nothing to worrie about its been there eating away. like most blokes i cant get out the doc's quick enough so needless tosay i didnt wait round to ask . iv had 4 ecgs since wich all came back normal..
Avatar m tn you would be best asking in the doctor forum as we arent doctor, im seem to see a lot of people posting ecg results, can i just ask did the doctor not explain anything to you because my doctor had to see the results before i went home, if you do the stress test and you pass you'll be fine, some meds that are used to treat arryhtmias can set off other arrthymias and tend to be dangerous, id stick with aspirin to prevent blood clots
Avatar m tn Treatment for low ejection fraction is focused on reducing symptoms and preventing the progress of the disease involved from worsening. Hypertension can cause left ventricular hypertrophy and sometimes diastolic dysfunction and consequent low ejection fraction. Discuss this with your consulting doctor. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn There is globally grossly normal left ventricular function. there is moderate concentric left ventricular hypertrophy. Regional wall motin pororly assessed due to poor endocardial definition. Left Ventricle - Diaastole: the overall diastolic pattern is one of mild (grade I) impairment of left ventricular relaxation with normal left ventricular filling pressure.
