Received two letters recently after having two tests - echocardiogram and 24 hour ECG. I have a telephone appointment with my GP and hope he can clarify, but that’s not for 3 weeks. Can anyone tell me what the letters say, in plain English? Thanks. I take Ranexa, Simvastatin, Monomil, Bisoprolol, aspirin, Ramipril). Will add second image to next post

I'm not a medic but that looks good to me. Left atrium often gets dilated if you have AF. Ejection fraction is good. Your tricuspid valve is leaking a little bit but nothing serious. It's all looking good! 😀
Thank you! I feel ok - but then I felt pretty good before I was diagnosed with angina! Hopefully I can get some info from my GP in a couple of weeks and I’m on a waiting list to have a telephone consultation with the consultant. Hope my husband is around that day as I’m quite deaf and the consultant is Greek and difficult for me to hear 🤦♂️
Thanks very much. It’s so hard, isn’t it, these days, not being able to see, or even talk to, a doctor easily! I’m a bit of a worrier!
Reassuringly normal result. Shame your cardiologist didn't send you the plain English version!
Yes, indeed! So it seems that the meds (plus good diet and exercise) are keeping things steady?
