Echocardiogram, MRA & Stess Test

dragonfire101 · Feb 24, 2016

My Echocardiogram resulst are below they look pretty good. MRA was done waiting on written report and going for stress test in a few weeks.
Cardiologist feels are my issues I have a neuromuscular.

So if MRA shows no vascular issues cardiologist says vision issues, black outs and chest pain I describe is from a neuromuscular issue as well as the tingling arm and leg pain I get.

Nice results. I just had all these tests done as well. Had a couple cardiac procedures last year. Wish you the best on your health.

The Cardiologist stated my results show my issues are not a result of any heart disease , but have a mild hypertrophy in the echocardiogram

because the left ventricular setum wall thickness was 11.4mm and the cutoff is under 11mm and diameter was 23 and cutoff under 22mm.

I know! I said to him isn't the left ventricle thicker in atheletes and wieght lifters, which he concurred , but he said left ventricular hypertrophy is common with sleep apnea and mine is kind of untreated at teh moment so wanst keep an eye on it although my results do show in 5 years with teh untretaed sleep apnea nothing chnaged. Lucky I guess because i ahvent worke dout much or doen cardio last 2 years almost becaus eof back, neck surgey and several car accidents. I wonder what teh numbers will look liek onc eI do cardio.

I woudl liek to get up to 65% injection fraction and just keep left vetricle thickness were it is.

I still neeed to figure out whats causing my other issues. Not sure if it coudl be the lyme disease I've had resurfacing when stressed out.

My EF is also 60% and I've tried literally everything to get it even higher but to no avail. I guess I should be happy it hasn't gotten any worse though. Hope everything gets better for you man.
