cardiac cath. revealed non obstructive CAD. moderate CAD, mild to moderate cardiomyopathy, EF35-40%, chronic a-fib with very low ventricular response, VVIR pacemaker installed , Synthroid75mcg, Lanoxin 0.25mg daily and 0.375 mon, Wed, Fri, Enalapril2.5 mg twice daily, Atenolol 12.5mg twice daily and Coumadin 5mg daily and 7.5 on Sundays. echocardiogram dimensions Aortic root 37mm, aortic valve opening19mm, left atrium 44mm, LV end diastolic dimention 48mm, end systolic dimension 31mm, Septal thickness 9mm, posterior wall thickness 10mm. The overall impressio was normal left ventricular size, function,regional wall motion, the ejection fraction lower limits of normal, approx 55%, left atrium is mildly dilated,the aortic root, right heart chamber are not dilated, aortic sclerosis with no stenosis in any of the four valves seen, there is moderate 2+mitral insufficiency, there is moderate 2+ tricuspid insufficiency, mild to moderate1-2+ pulmonic insufficiency. My present Cardiologist says I have Primary Cardiomyopathy. Heavy drinker for thirty years and would tend to believe that my condition could more properly be discribed as Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy. I also remember the surgeon who performed the heart cath commenting on an enlarged septum! Is a reading of Septal thickness 9mm considered enlarged? and if so would my condition be better described as hypertrophic. I am very confused. Please help. Thank You~~~~Mark
