ECHO Results

I had an Echo done quite a while ago by the VA....they told me it was "normal"....but here is what is written in my medical records....doesn't sound "normal" to me.  I am a 44yrold female with history of SVT with 2 ablation procedures and chronic angina and HBP.  

"The study is technically limited.  Poor image quality.  Left ventricular systolic function is normal.  EF = 50-55%.  There is borderline concentric left ventricular hypertrophy.
Left Ventricle.  The left ventricle is normal in size.  There is borderline concentric left ventricular hypertrophy.  Left ventricular systolic function is normal.  EF = 50-55%.  Regional wall motion abnormallities cannot be excluded due to limited visualization.

The left atrial size is normal.
The mitral valve leaflets appear normal.  There is no evidence of stenosis, fluttering, or prolapse.  There is mild mitral annular calcification.  There is no mitral regurgitation noted.

I know this is alot of info....but I just don't trust the VA...this test was done 18 months ago.  Some entries just have me worried.  Any comments are appreciated.  Thank-you
