LSVD

Hi everyone I'm new to this group. 3 weeks ago I have been diagnosed with LSVD (left ventricular systolic dysfunction ). I'm struggling to understand what it is. I'm waiting on the cardiologist team to see me and go through my heart mri scan.

Thank you I don't know where I have got this from but I got told from my doctor I'm one of the youngest he has seen I'm only 36. I have had an mri scan of my heart but still waiting on the cardiologist going through the scan results cos my gp dose not want to try and go through cos it's the heart. It's quite a scare when they tell u it's something to do with the heart and the alarm bells just start ringing. I have been put on 2 different tablets but I'm still in limbo as to where I go from here.
