I'm trying to help a French friend who recently arrived and is staying here with us. He just received the results of his echocardiogram stress test from France. There is a slight language issue interpreting the report but also I am more of an aortic-valve geek and not too familiar with his issues, which are as follows:
Hypertropyhic cardiomyopathy, septal , obstructive with a maximum gradient of 125mmhg at rest. His EF is excellent at 69% so the aortic valve is not an issue. He has recently noticed a rapid change in his tendency to become tired after minimal effort and is yawning a lot more than before, though his (French) cardio-geek said that didn't matter. That is all the info he's got and can give me. Sorry, I know it's sketchy but I wonder if anyone knows of a source for decoding such symptoms.
