Well preserved systolic function?

[Mummy2six]

Hi all

I've been having chest pain alot and a few collapses numb arm

So anyway doctor sent me for echocardiogram the results say... Well preserved systolic function left side

.. Right side normal size and function

I received this at weekend so nobody to interpret

Any idea what it means please

Try to stop worrying - I am not medical but it would appear this is telling you heart wise everything appears normal so they will need to look elsewhere for the cause of the numb arm, chest pain and collapses. Have you had a chest x ray recently? Just a thought - everyone I saw after my heart attack ordered a chest Xray as well as an echo..... you must see your doctor to get this explained and for a plan of action but try not to get yourself too wound up and try to relax on a lovely sunny Sunday. Easy to ay and very hard to do but try.

Ej was 48% with overall preserved systolic function I'm not back at hospital yet to see what it means

Once they explain it to you you will feel much better. I find it is not clearly being told what is going on that makes everything seem worrying; at least after your tests the doctor's will be able to tell you a lot more. Take care.

Please keep us posted

[Mummy2six in reply to Dolphin14]

Thankyou I will.. As said above its the all clear apparently so I'll take it as good news

We are not doctors

So getting the final all good from the md will settle all questions.

Good luck on your other tests.

Was unsure what well preserved systolic function was....
