Hi everyone it's me again
My cardiologist's nurse has called to let me know that my dacron graft looks great and there is no problems there so the pain I sometimes feel in that area is probably just nerve damage. I asked her about my aortic valve and since it was an MRI the numbers are calculated differently so now I need help to convert them!
She said my ejection fraction rate is 64% which I was very happy with.
My Aortic Valve Size is 2.2 x 2.1cm. Is the conversion for that simply 2.2x2.1? I don't figure it's that easy, and that would leave me with a large valve size meaning that the previous echo's were completely off.
My distolic aortic measurement was 2.0 x 1.9cm
lower descending aorta 1.9 x 1.8cm
this could all possibly be in MM instead of CM, i swear she said CM, but i think MRI measures in MM? who knows.
anyone know how to convert these?
i thanked the nurse for the results but said, what about children, can i have one?!?!? so she said she will certainly call me back. she also said the mri said to have me checked again in 6 months but that my cardiologists didn't recommend me coming back in 6 months but 1 year.....
thanks for your help once again!
