Hey gang, I got the actual Echo report from last week.
OK who knows about peak and mean gradients?
My echo in June 08 My peak gradient was 31.14
My echo last week peak gradient was 59
Mean gradient June 08 18.2mmHg
Mean gradient last week 33mmHg
Does anyone knows what this means and why have the numbers gone up in such a short time? Is that bad?
Moderate aortic stenosis
Mitral inflow pattern is pseudonormal
Left atrial size is mildly dialiated.
I am going to call the Cardio. Mon. I promise, because my chest is still hurting, you all know that drill; as far as what a bad heart can make you feel like. I'm just kind of baffled right now as to what is going on with this tissue valve I have.
Any thoughts would be great.
Thanks guys
