I have chest pain and my recently cardiac tests: Cardiac catheterization in October 2004, was normal (only 33% blocked) e no procedure done. Nuclear cardiology stress test: 06/2005: Left ventricular ejection fraction of 57%. Echocardiogram 07/2006 the results were as follows:
Diastolic LV dimension 4.72cm
Systolic LV dimension 2.95cm
Intraventricular septum in diastolic 1.29cm
Intraventricular septum in systolic 1.80cm
LV posterior wall 3.53cm
Aortic diameter 3.53cm
Left atrium 4.05cm
LV fractional shortening 39%
LV ejection fraction 7.0%
LV mass 266grams
1. There is mild systolic dysfunction and mild left ventricular concentric hypertrophy.
2. Doppler color shows mild regurgitation mitral valve and mild calcification in the mitral valve with left atrial enlargement
3. Aortic valve shows mild calcification and trivial regurgitation with mild sub-aortic stenosis. There valve measures 1.45cm2 gradient of 7.6mmH
4. Tricuspid valve shows trivial regurgitation .Tricuspid valve shows trivial regurgitation
