interventricular septal thickness Of 1.1 normal ?

interventricular septal thickness 1.1 Normal or is it too high ?

[jam34983]

But I'm pretty sure I can drop it I eat a lot island food Italian sodium and MSG

[jam34983]

For as long as I can remember my blood pressure been a little higher actually when I saw  blood pressure results I thought it was a little low because I'm used to seeing lol  and I don't understand your other question about PVC

With those echo results I would not worry to workout.

I think the advantages of exercising greatly outweigh the risks (are there any?) of PVC and interventricular septum thickness increase.

Try to lose some weight. That could bring your bp down a little, as 141/90 (is this your normal reading?) is a little high.

Reason for study: Atrial fibrillation.

PROCEDURE: This was a routine study. The transthoracic approach was used. The
study included complete 2D imaging, M-mode, complete spectral Doppler, and
color Doppler. The heart rate was 66 bpm, at the start of the study. Systolic
blood pressure was 141 mmHg, at the start of the study. Diastolic blood
pressure was 90 mmHg, at the start of the study. Image quality was adequate.

LEFT VENTRICLE: Size was normal. Ejection fraction was estimated to be 55 %.
There were no regional wall motion abnormalities. Wall thickness was normal.
DOPPLER: Normal E/A pattern.

AORTIC VALVE: The valve was trileaflet. Leaflets exhibited normal thickness and
normal cuspal separation. DOPPLER: Transaortic velocity was within the normal
range. There was no evidence for stenosis. There was no regurgitation.

AORTA: The root exhibited normal size.

MITRAL VALVE: Valve structure was normal. There was normal leaflet separation.
DOPPLER: The transmitral velocity was within the normal range. There was no
evidence for stenosis. There was no regurgitation.

LEFT ATRIUM: Size was normal.

RIGHT VENTRICLE: The size was normal. Systolic function was normal. Wall
thickness was normal. DOPPLER: Systolic pressure was within the normal range.

PULMONIC VALVE: Leaflets exhibited normal thickness, no calcification, and
normal cuspal separation. DOPPLER: There was no evidence for stenosis. There
was no regurgitation.

PULMONARY ARTERY: The size was normal.

TRICUSPID VALVE: The valve structure was normal. There was normal leaflet
separation. DOPPLER: The transtricuspid velocity was within the normal range.
There was no evidence for stenosis. There was no regurgitation.

RIGHT ATRIUM: Size was normal.

SYSTEMIC VEINS: IVC: The inferior vena cava was normal in size.

PERICARDIUM: There was no pericardial effusion. The pericardium was normal in
appearance.

SUMMARY:

-  Left ventricle: Ejection fraction was estimated to be 55 %. There were no
regional wall motion abnormalities.

And I'm 31 been jogging for about five years now I had to do a echo because because I went into afit about seven months ago, no new episodes they kept me in the hospital for three days and monitored my heart they found nothing wrong and said there's no limitations. And about five years ago by Dr. notice PVC on a hotel monitor.  Then  I had a event monitor as well they caught some while I was jogging but everyone said everything is fine. Throughout the years of my PVCs been getting worse I've been getting more worried about that too

[jam34983]

I'm just worried that it's borderline abnormal kind of scared to work out now

Normal range is 6-11mm (for men).
Interventricular septal thickness is age related. Younger people have thickness is the lower range, as with age thickness increases towards the higher range.

Note that athletes often have septal thickness above 11mm.
