contact EchoTech on the site somewhere. She's a technician who can tell you if the values are normal. What does the 'summery' say?
your EF (eject fraction) is slightly more than enough.. since i am not a doctor i won't say abnormal.. but according to the chart i have.. the normal value should be between 55 to 70%..
if FD is "fractional shortening .. " then it is also more than enough.. normal should be between 24 to 44 %
rest of the values are not understandable by me..
