Update after cardiologist appontment
From an ejection fraction of 23% on an
echocardiogram
to one of 47% on a MRI in 2 months is unsual. I also did not have the right symptons. Also my cholesterol has shot up so I am now on statins. He will see me in a year unless I need to see him earler.

GCA, Afib, heart failure
Referred me to Cardiology, says I need a 24 hr heart monitor and
echocardiogram
. The shocker was when I tried to make the online appointments. 12 week wait for
echocardiogram
; 21 week wait for Cardiology appointment. My doc says he’s going to expedite these appointments but I have no dates yet.

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!

Myocarditis
Bloods (Troponin levels at 1275), ECG,
Echocardiogram
, Angiogram and Cardiac MRI confirmed Myocarditis. Lots of support and information when they thought it was an MI but then discharged from cardiac nurse support after Myocarditis diagnosis with no support or information ???

Contrast echocardiogram booked
Hi there, My appointment has finally come through after a 6 months wait. Which I don't mind because I was told this at the beginning, so expectations have been met. Is there anyone out there that has had one? I know it's like an 3cho and they inject a contrast. They are looking for a whole in my heart

High fever and AF
She also wrote "I’ve got an
echocardiogram
on the 18th as they want to rule out endocarditis - I’ve now been treated for sepsis three times in three years and there is a possibility that bacteria has seeded in my body" I think that she needs to actively try to build up her immune system.

Follow-up?
However, regardless of the number or severity of episodes, or whether I feel well, is it advisable to request regular follow-ups such as ambulatory ECG (holter monitor),
echocardiogram
, or cardiac stress tests annually or every two years?

Ramipril
It has definitely helped as shown by a follow
echocardiogram
, and my consultant pleased. However, I was warned by my GP that it might give me a cough.. and it most certainly has!

New diagnosis of HF and Cardiomyopathy
I had a review
echocardiogram
2 weeks ago and despite maximum dose my EF is still 15. I'm therefore being referred for ICD and my consultant mentioned a transplant if necessary. I'm scared, annoyed, sad and anxious all of the time. I'm a social worker, I love my job and don't want to stop.

Do I have heart failure or heart disease?
An
echocardiogram
showed mild valve leakages but no obvious cardiomyopathy. I was advised to stop/reduce my caffeine intake and my symptoms subsided.
