Echo Report

Read my echo report and amongs other things it said mild to moderate LVH with evidence of mild diastolic dysfuntion. It also stated mild mitral and tricupisd insuffiencies which I know is almost always benign or a normal vairaint.

Docs don't seem concerned and have been given a clean bill of health, was wondering in PVCs can caused evidence of diastolic dysfuntion as I had dozens during the echo it self

If you doubt the doctors I would suggest you get another opinion.

Well the orignal cardiologst who did the  echo wasn't concerned and the report I have is from my PCP, so I assume a doctor at his clinic also read the echo.

Diastolic dysfunction (the heart not relaxing fully or properly) can appear on echo if the heart is beating really fast.  I would assume PVCs might cause a similar phenomenon since they're basically extra beats, thus speeding up the rate.  Especially if you were having a bunch.
