usual time to get results after EP appointment
I had an
echocardiogram
while I was there and was told, if my heart was ok, I would be given tablets to help with heart rhythm as I am in persistent AF. That was a week ago and I haven’t heard anything since.

Waiting forever for Heart MRI
At my
echocardiogram
, I was told I needed to go direct to A&E and they they had spoken to cardiology and I was to be admitted. I wasn’t they just sent me home. Had to chase up my emergency cardiology appointment, which was a month from echo. Now I’m awaiting an heart MRI.

Travel Claim with Staysure
The reason given was "on the
echocardiogram
report there was no mention of the BP reading." I now have an enlarged left ventricle with low ejection fraction. I did not have my BP taken!

7 month cardiologist review done
Your heart is recovering really well and immediate intervention as you were in hospital within a few hours when you had your heart attack means some damage but as shown by the
echocardiogram
the structural integrity of your heart was not impacted.The
echocardiogram
isn't perfect for assessment but it

GP App
so I had an
echocardiogram
in February and they said if I don’t hear anything they will review me in 12 months re my AF with a view to discharging me. This sounded great and I haven’t heard anything.

Electric shock treatment
Recently had
echocardiogram
and the technician thought everything looked fine. Now had letter saying I would be given an appointment for electric shock treatment to improve my energy level. If I'm not in A F why should I have this? I'd be grateful for anyone's advice or experience. TIA.

BPM is worrying me
I passed my stress
echocardiogram
a few weeks ago and have only just been able to see my Cardiologist who thinks everything was going well. My blood pressure has always been high and my cardiologist has doubled my dose of Metoprolol from 50mg to 100mg per day to help with this.

Aortic Root Dilation
I’ve recently had an
echocardiogram
and have just received a letter with the results. It says my aortic root is ‘mildly dilated with a dimension of 40mm at the level of the sinus of Valsalva’. This seems new - it hasn’t been raised in previous echocardiograms.

Weight help
In September I had
echocardiogram
as per my son's consultant request. In April I saw the consultant who advised that while he was not overly concerned I needed to make some serious changes.

You couldn’t make it up!
Surgery is planned but this has required visits to an oncologist, High Risk anaesthetist ,
echocardiogram
and Maxillofacial surgeon. As I find the whole thing pretty scary due to the risks and my general decrepitude I may actually refuse surgery.

Another update - heart rate monitor & echocardiogram
As we have gone private, she said we wouldn’t be charged for the
echocardiogram
as it was an error on their side. Don’t know what the total cost will be, but will keep an eye to make sure we’re not charged for the heart scan.

Is a stress Echo as good as a coronary angiography?
My cardiologist advised me that she didn’t want to waste anymore of my time, so she set me up for a stress
echocardiogram
. It’s a true shame, I know how good a CTTA can be at diagnosing heart and arterio abnormalities; but alas such a test doesn’t seem to be in my immediate future.

Mixed feelings about hospital too busy to review 12 months after ablation.
I just have a few questions. 1.I need to know what I can expect from now on. 2.As it over 2.5 years from initial
echocardiogram
what are the chances I will develop heart failure? I suppose I should speak to the direct number on the letter and ask for telephone consultation or email.

Microvascular Dysfunction Tests
When I asked for an
Echocardiogram
the Cardiologist told my GP that there was no need for me to have further tests as the tests I received have all reported normal.

Tired all of the time now.,,
I have seen a Cardiologist this month and am having an
Echocardiogram
and possibly a Holter. My bloods are normal, I have no symptoms of heart failure and my heart is considered to be okay considering my history. I have now commenced Furosemide 40 mg daily.

Managing the wait for CABG
As we understand it a further
echocardiogram
to be done in June will indicate to the surgeon if my husband's heart is in a fit enough state to for him to operate, if yes then he will be scheduled into the list in the months ahead.
