I had a stress echo that came out pretty much ok. my cholestrol is too high 170ldl.
My LVEF was 74%. What does that mean?
Thanks

I also have some diffuse thickening of the aortic valve cusps,mild aortic root dilatation and  PVCs
Does the thickening and dilatation suggest I have some arterial plaque buildup or is there no relationship?
