Just want to share some good news for once!Had an echocardiogram on Friday and they estimated my EF is now 45-49. That is an improvement of 20 and moves me significantly above technical heart failure. Also it appears that the blood clot that keeps playing hide and seek has dissolved away.

Hopefully that will help with my depression too!

Have a great day everyone

That’s good news for you. I have my Echo on Sunday can I ask how long did you wait for results. Is it possible that they could allow me to have a copy of it as my surgery lost my last one took me two years for a doctor to locate it been put in wrong place she said so It bothers me same thing could happen again

Hi TinxI asked them at the time what they estimated my EF as, they were very informative about what they were doing.

I would ask them why they are doing the echo when you go in the lab, what are they looking for. Then ask them what they found out after the scan.

Good luck Sunday

If you phone the NHS hospital involved in your scan - Access to Records, they will advise you of procedure and should be able to forward via email/post. I have done this. Good luck
