Dobutamine Stress Test Echocardiogram
Hi.I am due to have the above test in a week and I was wondering if it will leave me feeling exhausted as ive got work the following day. Im not looking forward to it to be honest the idea of having my heart artificially sped up is a worry to me.

heart position
hi, I had an
echocardiogram
today (I’ve had them before) but this time I was told my heart was shifted to the right a little? I think she said median? No-one has mentioned before? I am due an angiogram in a couple of months. Does anyone know what this means? Thanks

Breathless
Good afternoon, I am getting more breathless these days and was wondering if I should ask for an
echocardiogram
, I haven't had one since March 2021, I had a CT angiogram in April 2022. I am 70yrs old and am being able to do less and less now.

thoracic aortic dilation
I was diagnosed with a ‘borderline ‘ dilation of 3.5cm earlier this year having had an
echocardiogram
because of heart fluttering symptoms. I also await the results of a 72hr ECG. As things stand, a consultant has written to me and requested I repeat the echo after 3 years.

'Hidden' aortic stenosis?
Given a family history of aortic stenosis and the fact that I also have LP(a) which is a known risk factor, my GP is organising an
echocardiogram
for me; he explained that although he can't hear any heart murmur, there is a possibility that it might be 'hidden'. Has anyone else come across this?

Blood Test Results
My GP says it will be because of AF and no need to refer for another
echocardiogram
as the one I had in December was an improvement on the one in September. Another blood test result was abnormal for Serum Ferritin levels. Has anyone else had experience of these? x

Is an echocardiogram essential?
Should I book an appointment for an
echocardiogram
before I see him? I met a friend who told me her husband had done that. I’m afraid to say, that’s something else I knew nothing about. Would you recommend me having one first? Thank you in advance.

Ectopic beats are freaking me out.
My cardiologist doesn’t seem to be concerned as I had a normal
echocardiogram
and kind of just sent me on my way. He said it might be my heart getting fitter after pregnancy (4 months pp). Does anybody else experience this? I was not getting these a few months ago. They feel very scary.

why is there a problem with my replacement aortic heart valve?
The opening is only 0.7cm squared according to an
echocardiogram
I had done last June. I was told about this at my appointment today. A bit stressed about this and would like to know if anyone on this group has had the same thing happen.

Echo results.
Anyway had the results of my latest
echocardiogram
yesterday and was wondering if you good people can interpret for me . Shows a non dilated left ventricle with normal wall thickness and preserved systolic function. Estimated ejection fraction of 65%.

ECG showing abnormalities
I’ve been having intermittent twinges/zaps in left chest area but only when sitting not when excercising of any kind.I am having an
echocardiogram
shortly and if abnormal then a consultation with a cardiologist. My HA was in Oct ‘22 and my EF was 55% so hopefully I might be ok.
