Biventricular dysfunction

[MaeGM]

Hello, new to this group although have heart problems since a young age! I have recently been back in hospital had an echo and only had a quick conversation with the consultant a few days later about the results.

It was a quick convo so didn't fully understand what he meant. I was given the diagnosis of cardiac weakness and 'biventricular dysfunction' pending further investigation. I'm not really sure what this means and Googling gives a very wide spec? Any help would be great!

Thanks in advance!:)))

Hi. I’ve had a biventricular pacemaker fitted to sort out the problem of the ventricles beating out of synch. This has been very successful. I’m not saying you definitely have a similar problem or that you need a pacemaker as I am not a doctor, but I was diagnosed after an echo and maybe biventricular dysfunction is a term for that. I also had a tilt table test and a cardiac stress test, My heart is now much stronger and I can do much more than before. Have you got details of the other tests yet? Maybe your gp could answer some if your questions in the meantime? Take care.

Hello, glad you're feeling better after your stronger! my further tests is a CMR Study? I think it plays on your mind a bit when a new symptoms pops up your first thought is 'omg is it to do with this' haha thanks for your reply! Hopefully I'll have my further tests soon!
