I decided to have a private
echocardiogram
instead of waiting for the NHS one to come through. The report has been sent to my cardiologist and my doctor. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to contact you after receiving results?

AFIB, Besremi refused by insurance, and more
I have another
Echocardiogram
, a CT Calcium Cardiology, and a coronary angiogram scheduled next week. Now, I'm on Flecaincide and a blood thinner (big risk with PV and AFIB for stroke or clots) and meeting with an electrophysiology doctor on February 1 to discuss an ablation or other options.

Living with AF...and then what?
After diagnosis, several episodes, ECGs, echo cardiogram and CTscan, confirmed with paroxysmal AF and some furring of arteries but basically sound heart for a 72 year old. All usual meds prescribed, BP , betablocker, statin, anticoagulant (on top of T2 diabetes insulin regime). Cardiologist washed his

Paroxymal Atrial Fibrillation
I am waiting for an
echocardiogram
and a Holter monitor in the new year. It is all quite unsettling. Is there anyone out there who has experienced a similar thing. Thank you for reading my experience with PAF.

Update 7.3 Good news this time
Will also be doing a Stress test,
Echocardiogram
, and CT Calcium Cardiology scan. Interesting to have a new symptom when the tachycardia incidents have really slowed down. We will doubtless get it all sorted. I am actually more curious than worried about it.

Terrified 😢 Just looking for shared experiences.
He suggested an
echocardiogram
and I have this on Friday. I am utterly terrified. My partner thinks my anxiety is causing the symptoms but I can’t shake a horrible gut feeling that there’s something really wrong. Thanks for reading and I’d appreciate any words of wisdom.

An Update after Echo Stress test
Exercise stress
echocardiogram
is positive for inducible ischemia. This is an intermediate-risk stress test result. 2. Normal hemodynamic response to exercise, achieving 93% of maximum predicted heart rate during 7 min 0 sec of Bruce protocol. No chest pain. 3.

Was It A Heart Attack?
I had an
echocardiogram
in June over two years late and it has taken them over four months to write to my GP. EF is 65% but there is thickening and scarring on the basal segment. Do you think it means one of my bad angina attacks was actually a heart attack? 🤔

Dental Implants after AVR
I have just been signed off by my Cardiologist following an
echocardiogram
as she is happy with the results. My question is has anyone else had Dental Implant Surgery following having AVR? Obviously there is a risk of infection to the bi-prosthesis valve from endocarditis .

A Hospital admission and another failed attempt at a CT Angiogram 😥
I will be booked for an
Echocardiogram
, Stress Test and referral to Electrophysiology. However, the Cardiac Nurse said he didn't think I had too much to worry about from CAD. Having looked at my test from over the years he feels I am very low risk.

Propranalol or Bisoprolol
I will be having an
echocardiogram
scan in due course. In A&E the doctor told me to continue with my BP meds of Indapamide 2.5mg and Propranolol.

Echocardiogram Advice Please
Today I had my
echocardiogram
having waited 10 months for it. Following the scan I asked the person that did the scan if there was anything to worry about and was told there wasn't.

New shooting pain in left breast
I had an
echocardiogram
and was checked by cardiologist in July at the request of my Rheumy and nothing was found. Obviously I decided to "google it" as I love frightening myself 🙄 but the most obvious thing for me appears to be muscoskelatal which is mentioned but I have no idea why.

hospital today
Am now waiting for a cat scan and another
echocardiogram
. The nurse rang me at home to say she had discussed me with the cardiologist who advised me to take my tablets at different times and to record blood pressure readings for the next week.

AF and now coronary artery disease at 47. I recently had a CT angiogram and the results aren’t great. Back to being scared and worried.
I had good news from my
echocardiogram
as I had no damage at all. The last hurdle was a CT angiogram sadly I’ve not made it so well past this hurdle. I’m absolutely gutted to be honest. From my report. The scan demonstrated moderate burden of the coronary artery atheroma.
