Newly diagnosed
They referred me to Cardiologist and for an
Echocardiogram
but said it would probably be a 6 month wait and then basically just sent me home. my heart rate still seems to fluctuate a lot, blood pressure is stable and normal. I am eating healthily and trying to give up the vape.

Clinical Physiologist
I usually see my cardiologist once a year, along with a routine
echocardiogram
and ecg. This year, I saw my GP because I have been getting a lot of palpitations which Kardia diagnose as PVCs and SVEs ) He said he would contact my cardiologist.

Stress echocardiogram done ✅
So I had my 6 week scan yesterday. To be honest I had a stress test trying to get to Kings thanks to signalling failures, a bit of wet snow and eventually traffic. Got there 30 mins late but they still accepted me which was a relief! Did the first scan. Then a contrast scan as they weren’t sure whether

possible heart strain
Put on apixaban for 3 months then must have an
echocardiogram
to check the right side of my heart. This awful episode has been a massive wake up call and shock. I feel like an invalid, I've always been active and healthy and now may have long term heart damage.

Bit nervous on follow up echo
Bit nervous about my coming
echocardiogram
mostly around my EF. What to expect on 6 months follow up anything I need to be looking at and asking my cardiologist? Any suggestions . Should I be worried?

General Anaesthetic with 5%pvcs?
Would these pvcs (normal
echocardiogram
and no cardiomyopathy) mean they could cancel my operation?

BNP and NT-BNP blood tests
My GP requested this test for me, my last one was nearly a year ago and was higher than the previous one and the GP requested an
echocardiogram
,which was declined by the hospital's.

Heart Failure diagnoses but 6 month wait for the clinic!
I need an
echocardiogram
, the 24hr hoilter and although being part of these groups, looking at websites, I know that things aren't as bad as it seems to start with I can't stop worrying when I don't know what I'm dealing with. I'm sure you all understand that.

UPDATE
Well .. the
echocardiogram
didn't show what I secretly wished it would show ... ie ... that this whole thing was just a techno-glitch ... instead it said that the pumping capacity of my left ventricle is less than 50 % and that there is liquid around my heart.

I'm lost - no idea what I should do
I had an appointment on November 4th with my Endo, just after I had an
Echocardiogram
. He looked at the results and said he could see a small deterioration from when he sent me for one 3 years ago, but thought I should be able to have my operation.

Mobitz 1 - scared
I have had an
echocardiogram
which came back normal, I have also had a chest x-ray which is also normal. I am petrified and anxiety seems to make the palpatations worse. I am due to go abroad in just over a week and I'm scared to go.

Recurrence confirmed
Echocardiogram
and kidney test to make sure I could take more chemo. Possibly a laparoscopy if surgery is a possibility... Everyone very kind and very organised. Just over 4 years NED. A year of slowly climbing ca125 but clear scans till today. Had rebuilt my life, career, everything.

left Ventricle hypertrophy - best test
I know I have mild LVH from an
echocardiogram
April 2022 - “ increased relative wall thickness anf normal LV mass suggest concentric remodelling LV geometry” - research on my CHD (myocardial bridge) indicates this is a common development as result of the CHD doing its thing - squishing part of my LAD

Advice on qestions to ask Consultant
Told no more CVs (no explanation) and would say no more until he saw an new
Echocardiogram
and results of wearing a HR monitor for 7 days Had to wait until Dec for the
Echocardiogram
and January this year for the HR monitor. He said I would likely need an ablation.

how would you know.
My question is how do you know that everything is ok I know it’s a silly question but do you have to have
Echocardiogram
at some stage to make sure you are ok. I haven’t had any symptoms but sometimes I sit and think how would you know that everything is ok if you don’t get checked.

Waiting for followup
So I had a 24hr holter monitor due to palpitations then an echo cardiogram. The scan I think was due to having a murmur so think they were checking nothing had changed with that. I was told it looked the same as previously 5 or so years ago. The results would go to a cardiologist and I would hear back
