Echocardiogram Today

[Prada47]

Hello I have a Echocardiogram today it's been requested by my Cardiologist to see how things are going. It's almost a year later than it was requested !! I don't think I have gone down hill very much, a little maybe with an erratic Blood Pressure and Heart Rate, not drastic from around 115/60 57 to 160/76 49 The Bisoprolol and Entresto are supposed to keep it steady. This morning it's 102/62 69 .

As I say not drastic changes just not understanding why, looks like the 7.5 mg Bisoprolol is stopping the HR rising only problem is it lets it fall as well LOL

Last Ejection Fraction was 43 % so that's not to bad interesting to see what it's like today, just over a year since I switched from Candesartan to Entresto.

Everything is a little disjointed at the moment Echo today then Heart Nurse for an ECG on March 1st to look at widening QRS time !!

Still I woke up this Morning which is always a good sign. As they say in the US Have a Nice Day Folks

I know when I have a stress echo I don’t leave the room until I know what my EF is 😂. All the rest of the lingo is just white noise

Last time the technician said hold on I am just going to get my Supervisor !! The supervisor did a bit of scanning then asked me my last E F I said low 40s around 42 %

So the Supervisor said to the technician if in doubt ask the Patient they will probably know lol. So when the report came back it said EF 43 % I often wonder if that was a guess !

I do know EF is only a guide on the NYHA scale I can be 1 2 or 3 even 4 On a visit to Heart Failure Nurse I thought she was going to admit me there and then NYHA was 4 within 20 minutes it was around 1 so I bounced out of the Clinic like a new man LOL

Well Echo went OK ,

The Technicians both of them didn't give anything away the worst I think I heard in their exchanges was that's Moderate r that's Moderate no mention of the word Severe. She said the results will be with the Cardiologist and Heart Nurse within a couple of days. I hate theses waiting games still I work on the basis must be OK they didn't send me on to anyone else !!!
