Echocardiogram Report
by Marjorie Edmonds, Oct 16, 1999 12:00AM
I had pericarditis in January. In July I had a repeat echo. I was told I had no problem. I just asked for a copy of the report and this is what it said:
RVID(ED) 14
LVID(ED) 43
LVID(ES) 25
IVS(ED) 11
LVPW(ED) 32
LA(ES) 29
AORTA 18
Ejection Fraction (Simpson's) 60-70%
Echocardiography is technically difficult. No abnormality of wall motion is identified. Left ventricular ejection is estimated at 60-70%. Chamber sizes are normal. There is borderline concentric left ventricular hypertrophy. Left ventricular filling wave is elevated.
Impression: Normal L ventricular chamber sizes, wall motion and systolic function. Echo evidence of diastolic disfunction. No pericardial effusion. Improved when compared to 1/11/99.
Do I have anything to worry about? Thx.
