It looks like your heart has been suffering from hypertension.
This would explain the hypertrophy and the diastolic dysfunction.
Once your blood pressure is under control, the hypertrophy and LV diastolic dysfunction could improve to normal values again.
Your aortic valve leaflets are degenerated although nothing is said about leakage.
Therefore I assume that the valve still opens and closes well.
Your aortic valve's condition is most likely not caused by the high blood pressure.
Has anyone tried Sam-e for depression??? I'm on day 21 off Tramadol and I still have low Energy and depression... Any thoughts or comments on Sam-e??? The emmotional part is realy kicking my A$$... I'm taking lots of vitamins, walking every day, going to work and staying busy but I feel like I am loosing the battle. I don't know what else to do I feel hopeles...
Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if it's the sam-e or no sugar but something is working. I'm doing much better. Not totally there yet but oooooh so much better. I'm 2 1/2 months clean and wish I'd have known about the sam-e when I first started. It might have helped with the depression then. So I think I would add it to the Thomas recipe. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

So gay people are just like everyone else right? Yet the media makes him out to be something so special. SO HE IS GAY, WHO CARES?
I have just been scheduled for an angiogram and I'm scared to no end I have a 3 year old son I love to death same as my soon to be wife. I'm so scared something will go wrong during the surgery how coming are complications? Also my ej is 73 is this bad?
You better check with your doctors, I am not sure about the potential damage due to the radiation dose that you will take during the procedure.
Also if they discover blockages in your coronaries, I do not know about the risk of the medication that you will need.
After a cardigraph treadmill test I'm being referred for angiogram - I'm going on holiday in two weeks with a 3 hour flight. Should I travel?
My partner is having an angiogram after suffering chest pains a few weeks ago. NAD was found at the time from blood tests and ECG (done over 18 hours). Was kept in overnight. Had no discomfort since, but suffers from type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol which are all controlled and low due to medication.
His chest pains were 4 weeks ago and he's had nothing since.
my mother is suffering from chest pain now Doctor is saying to go for angiogram test?
Has anyone had an angiogram with the catheter inserted in arm or neck instead of the groin? I don't think I could take the groin without serious nerve spasms.
hey my dad is suppose to go in for an angiogram but he fears what might happen to him if he does. i was wondering if there was possible any alternative procedure or something else he could possibly do.
how do i intepret an angiogram result? to know which is left or right? how to know if there is a block?
A CT angiogram is more sensitive than a straight forward angiogram. They both rely on a radioactive substance being injected into your blood stream and it's this which the scanners pick up. If a CT angiogram doesn't reveal a vessel, then no way will an angiogram.
I had a vein that was closed after a bypass procedure and they looked for 30 minutes in a standard angiogram procedure to try and find it.
I think another angiogram is your best option personally. It will show how clear your vessels are but ask them to do a FFR on your coronary arteries. This is a tiny sensor which gives the cardiologist the blood flow rate. Without this test, they are simply going by visual signs which is an inaccurate method. I would like to know what your BP was to lower your EF to 15%?
The tests indicated a blockage. I am now waiting for an angiogram. They put me on drugs after the test. I am on 1.25mg Monocor, 5mg Norvasc, 10mg Crestor as well as ASA 81mg - one per day. Now I wait for Angiogram. I am quite freaked out. So I am scheduled for an angiogram on Feb 5th. They tell me there are risks in this test. The risk is 1 in 1000 people die, stroke or have a heart attack during this proceedure. My question is this, Should I get a 64-slice Coronary CT Angiograph​y?
