Regional wall abnormalities

[Fynndog]

Just received letter from cardiologist. The first cardio I’d spoken to after H/A in sept.

Some regional wall motion abnormalities in the inferior and inferolateral segments???

Just googled and read something nasty. Hi mortality rates. Ugh. Don’t want to hear that.

Suggesting upping bisoprilol ( I take 2.5mg and feel slightly foggy) and upping candesartan ( I take 4mg)

Any ideas guys?

Thank you “ that was unexpected” fir your very uplifting reply. Doesn’t pay to dwell too much on what we dont understand. Have to say heart matters are scary.

From my very limited understanding RWMA are an indication of a past heart attack, where a part of the muscle wall of the heart no longer moves as it should due to lack of blood supply/scarring. I expect someone will be along soon to explain more!

Now we all want to know what you originally said!! Your bubonic plague reference made me laugh out loud - which hurt as I've had a tooth out today.

Wasn’t far from the truth though. I didn’t even notice. Haha

[Alison_L]

Ouch! You've just done it again

Now I’ve realised my mistake I won’t do it again😁
