Hey all,
I'm a 21 year old male and new to the boards.
My doc recently ordered an echo on me after an EKG and holter test came up excellent. His concern (and mine too) has been a high resting heart rate every time I come into his office (~90-100 BPM). His suspicion with the echo was that it *might* turn up MVP. It turns out, however, that the echo came up fine as well (no abnormalities).
When I first saw the report, I obviously didn't have anything to compare it to, so I searched the internet and ultimately found this board. After skimming through a few posts, I noticed that most people's LV sizes were typically in the +5.0 cm range, diastolic. My echo, however, reports 4.4 cm, diastolic.
So, I'm just curious: what are some of the measurements (esp. LV) that you guys are getting on your echo reports?
Thanks!
-- Here's my complete report, for reference --------
Aortic Root: 2.8 cm
Aortic Valve: ---
Left Atrium: 3.2 cm
LA/AO Ratio: 1.1
MV: E-F Slope: ---
MV: D-E Amp: ---
EPSS: ---
RT Ventricle: WNL cm
Ventricle Septum (ED: 0.9 cm
Left Ventricle Post Wall (ED): 0.9 cm
Left Ventricle (ED): 4.4 cm
Left Ventricle (ES): 3.1 cm
Left Ventricular Systolic Function...
E.F.: 60%
F.S.: 30%
