During an EP study, to test atrioventricular conduction, they artificially stimulate the atria at increasing speed until the AV node (the "gatekeeper") is starting to block impulses. This is known as the "Wenckebach point". One may think this is similar to max pulse (maximum HR during exercise) but that's not correct. When you exercise you release lots of adrenaline which both stimulate the sinus node and the AV node to allow more rapid conduction.

I received a report back from a nuclear stress test that it showed and abnormality in the front part of my heart. This was all the information I was given and they set me up with a cardilogist for later this week. Do you have any ideas of what this could mean....when I asked them they said that was all the report said.

But there again, I gave up exercise completely in the past month due to worries that perhaps I was making WHATEVER it was worse (burning in upper back when stretching etc). MRI Report: As isolated white matter hypersensitivity involves the white matter tracts of the left corona radiata near the atrium of the left ventricle. It measures approx. 6mm in diameter. Right hemisphere brainstem and cerebellum demonstrate no similar abnormalities.

When these test results are available then you should get a copy of the lab report and post results and reference ranges shown on the lab report, so that members can help interpret and advise further..

I have been trying to understand my echocardiogram report. The symbols and numbers might as well be from outer space. When I look online, either the symbols or the units don't seem to match mine. Anyone know what any of this means? IVSd: 1.4 cm, LVIDd: 5.1 cm, Ao root diam: 2.9 cm, LVPWd: 1.4 cm, Ao root area: 6.5 cm^2, LA dimension: 4.0 cm, MV E max vel: 81.4 cm/sec, MV dec time: 0.21 sec, AoV2 max: 145.8 cm/sec, MV A max vel: 90.7 cm/sec, Ao max PG: 8.5 mmHg, MV E/A: 0.90???

What is the reference range for the Free T4? Ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own report. You should also be tested for Free T3, which is the hormone actually used by individual cells, while FT4 must be converted to FT3, prior to use. How long have you been on the 50 mcg Synthroid? You have 2 measurements for the right lobe; can you explain those, please? Looks like you might have some nodules?

Please post any thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.

s been more than 2 yrs that we are living together and trying to have a baby, since my husband lab test shows that he got a low testosterone level, is there any chance of having get pregnant in a natural way rather than an in-vitro which the doctor tell us that, thats the only option we have?

One way to document whether or not she has a good exercise capacity is indeed to perform a stress echocardiogram. If she can workout to a good workload then you can be reassured that this is not impeding her normal function. But this doesn't mean that she doesn't have an electrical issue. How frequent are the PVcs and does she have any runs of SVT on the holter.

Thyroid hormone replacement meds will ALLOW you to lose weight. When thyroid hormone levels are off, it's almost impossible to lose weight. Once your hormones are properly adjust with meds, you should have a much easier time. Notice that I said once they are properly adjusted, NOT once you start. Adjustment is a trial and error process to some extent. The dose we are initially put on is seldom the dose we end up on, so it can take a while to get it right.

Your evaluation will probably consist of some variation of a cardiac echo with a stress component to see if the physiology of exercise can be reproduced. Perhaps a holter monitor and perhaps a perfusion stress test. Also an electrical conduction study or tilt table test may be considered if this is felt to be an electrical conduction disorder. The decision about which combination of these tests is most appropriate will be made based upon your a history, physical exam and review of your EKG.

Please post the reference ranges from your lab report. Ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own report.

s office once without any return calls, I finally picked up the lab report myself from the receptionist -- and asked for the doctor to call back. Next day, still no call back. The receptionists just say, "OK give me your number and I'll have him call you back." Then I sit by the phone for another week, drumming my fingers. (1) Are these "out of range" items on my lab report worthy of finding a different doctor and starting over?

Please post your lab results, along with the reference ranges from your lab report. Reference ranges vary lab to lab, so must come from your own report.

Since lab results and reference ranges vary from lab to lab, we need to know the reference ranges that go with those test results. The ranges will be listed on the lab report. Also, please tell us what your doctor originally diagnosed as a cause for hypothyroidism. What symptoms did you have before starting meds and also how you are feeling now?

I have been seeing a cardiologist because I can't exercise long before my heart rate jumps to over 170. I'm a 52 year old woman in otherwise good health. I recall having this problem all my life. I'm tried continued exercise to build up my tolerance but I never get any improvement. My respirologist did a stress test which showed I change from an aerobic to an anaerobic state at an early stage of exercise. Do you know what this might be. The cardiologist seems stumped also.
