Mitral regurgitation diagnoses
I have recently had an
echocardiogram
since having symptoms of bounding palpitations, fatigue and dizziness. The echo showed some mild regurgitation and my cardiologist didn’t seem too bothered.

It is a scary place
Just before Christmas I had a
Echocardiogram
and totally out of the blue I was told I have a dilated left ventricle and a regurgitating valve. Ejection fraction is 15-20%. I was shocked as I only went to the GP initially as I was short of breath.

Any experience of Amiodarone? The potential side effects sound frightening.
The NHS wheels have turned very slowly for an
echocardiogram
, then finally an outpatient appointment in November.

The GP organised an
echocardiogram
that was carried out today. Following the feedback from the scan it identified one or two issues but nothing major. I am booked into see the GP for the results in 10 days.

Sinus tachycardia causes?
Chest X ray clear and an
echocardiogram
where the only outcome is my tachycardia of 140bpm at rest. I've had persistent tachycardia since November. Ranging from 120s-150s resting. I've got a 24 hr tape on Wednesday.

AFIB & Adv Prostate Cancer Shocking Cardioversion
To today I get my 3 rd CARDIOVERSION & pre-empted by a TEE ( trans-esophagus
echocardiogram
). Been there done that before. At 1st thought it from my Abiraterone & Prednisone & Lupron combo cancer meds; wrong it was probably from lifting 7- 40# bags water softener salt + 1 40# box cat litter.

Stopping Amiodorone
Another
echocardiogram
is scheduled for the end of January. We would be grateful to hear from others who have stopped Amiodorone as to whether / how long before they noticed any general improvement.

Between 2 appointments, frustration building!
I’ve met a professor of ICC Adult Consultant Cardiology after an
echocardiogram
where I noted my heart rate was 49-51. Then the ECG took longer as it needed more time to record my heartbeats. Then I get told I’ve got Long QT, not channelopathy.

Heart Health Anxiety
He then adviced to have an
echocardiogram
and I had. The report came normal. After that I went to a psychiatrist and still on the medicine. Sometimes I get too much anxious and worried about my heart. When I do small work like sweeping the room, my heart rate drastically increased.

Palpitations
I’ve had an
echocardiogram
and x2 24 hour heart monitors. I had an episode on Thursday and as I work at the hospital a doctor saw me and I had an ECG and it showed an inverted T wave on lead 2 of my ECG which the doctor said was abnormal.

Newbie, suffering B12 deficiency-sharing my story so far
Another thing to mention is that in India an
Echocardiogram
showed that I had mild pulmonary hypertension. I had an ECG on my return to the UK which showed some nonspecific abnormalities. I’ve been referred to a cardiologist, but my appointment isn’t until April.

AF and breathlessness
I had a
echocardiogram
and ECG first and a monitor fitted back in July for 12 hours. I have been suffering with breathlessness on climbing stairs, shopping or any excertion so was hoping for some answers as to why I am like this.

Update
Hi all Finally had my cardiology appointment with a different consultant and he wants me to have a new
echocardiogram
and a nucleus stress test. I am a little concerned about the stress test is this normal to have this done.

Mitral Valve no bargain Black Friday
Hey everyone, met up with my surgeon yesterday and had an
echocardiogram
for fun while I was there, as you do. Now, something that I had not known was if your mitral valve is a bit dodgy they might not be able to do an ablation.
