Heart Issues

[healthy-heart1]

Hello, can anyone help me with understanding some results from my recent cardiology tests.

I’ve took a picture summary of each test if anyone can help me understand it more and i will then explain some medications I’ve been given and any advice anyone may have for me please. Thank you in advance.

I attached 3 images of the tests from my Angiogram, , Echo and heart MR.

it looks like only one image showed of the heart MRI. I’ve attached the next image in this reply of my Angiogram

this is the last test image photo I attached to this reply as it only allows one image. This one is from my Echo

sorry I had to split the images with my test results in 3 separate replies in this post but it only let me attach one image at a time. Thank you in advance for any advice on what the test result properly mean would be appreciated.

you may not be able to find anyone on this forum who understands enough to say. We are all non-medics who have, or look after those with, heart issues.

Maybe a call to the British Heart Foundation?

You should discuss with your cardiologist but if you can’t see him soon your GP should be able explain the results to you

I’m not medically trained but I think your results look pretty good ? Only the angiogram showing mild to moderate disease in the left anterior descending artery which they would have dealt with there and then if urgent with stents .

Ive had stents in my LAD in 2015 and 2019 during angiogram very quick and easy procedure .

But I must stress I’m not a doc and results and informed discussion should be with qualified doc

as others have said, this should be discussed with a medical professional - but on the whole if any results require urgent action you would be contacted, so please relax

I agree with all the comments above, but I will add my two penneth on T1 and T2 mapping. T1 and T2 are two time constants relating to the material being imaged in MRI. For example there will be a massive difference between the T2 of bone and liquid, but a much smaller difference between the T2 of normal muscle and pathological muscle. In order to achieve T1 or T2 mapping, the same scan must be performed with several different scan parameters. After the different scans have been processed, you can display which material has a long T2 and which has a short T2 in the form of a grey scale image. This can help a radiologist get a different contrast than they would get with normal MRI scans. MRI scans are normally described as either being T1 weighted or T2 weighted which describe two different contrasts between the different materials imaged, but T1 and T2 mapping are a much purer version of the different contrasts. Sorry if that is confusing but I am trying to condense what would normally be described in a dozen pages of text and diagrams in this short message. In a single sentence, T1 and T2 mapping provide two different contrasts in images which are different from normal T1 weighted and T2 weighted MRI scans.
