Hi Brainy people:
1. what does the EF (Teich) 0.518 and FS 26.7% means. I would expect there is a formula to
calculate this, but I am not sure which one and how. Help would be appreciated.
2. Another echo showed FS of 22%
3. How can one echo show left ventricular dysfunction, hypokinesia of the septal wall and etc..
and EF and FS as in no. 1 as well as BNP of 333, but a second echo 8 weeks later shows all
the same info except that there is no longer left ventricular dysfunction but still a high BNP of
333. Does this means that I do not at the moment have HF but why a high BNP?
4. Should I have another echo?
Thanks for your response.
