New to all this
I have just had an
echocardiogram
and am awaiting results. I found the BHF booklet "On living with cardiomyopathy" very helpful but I am still unsure how much physical exercise I will be able to do. I am seeing my GP on Monday evening and hope she will be able to help.

Amusement and a little worried
I’ve not had any follow up from my cardiologist, last week I went for a
echocardiogram
and thought I’ll get an appointment next to see him, and today I got a letter which I had to read twice, my appointment is for May 2018 that’s 10 month after my operation, I was told it would be 10/12 weeks after my

My Wife
This post has nothing to do with lupus. It is about my wife Laura. Yesterday we got some disturbing new from her doctor. Her left breast has been in extreme pain for the last few weeks and her breast has swollen from D to E cup size. For her to wear a bra is intolerable, and just normal movement from

Moderate RV systolic dysfunction
My cardiologist didn't get enough information from my angiogram so he ordered an echo cardiogram. This show a much improved EF-47% up from 30% (meds?) but showed moderate RV systolic dysfunction. Even with one of my four bypasses closed my cardiologist said LV abnormalities don't account for RV dysfunction

Not able to walk much, short of breath, racing heart, please help
After the tachycardia episode my cardiologist did a holter test, leg ultrasound, ekg and
echocardiogram
and he says everything came out fine. I had a stress test about a month before and it came out fine but I don't think I could pass it now.

're dental work
My implants or the bleeding caused my AF to play up but I have had an
echocardiogram
and all is well. I still have to have the treadmill test, which I hate because I get so out of breath! All I have to go through now is to have the new teeth fitted, hopefully before Christmas!

Struggling every day
Back when this all started I have multiple EKGs, chest x-rays, blood work and a stress test
echocardiogram
. All was normal. Doctors have no answers. Does anyone else go through this? Is it safe to let myself believe that this isn't heart related since it has been going on this long?!

Advice on myocarditis please.
Spent five days in hospital, had many ECG's, CT scan,
Echocardiogram
etc., Not much information given to me even though I think I saw a total of 12 different senior and junior doctors. Was discharge and told I would get an appointment to return for an MRI.

Update
I have a moderate to severe heart valve leak, plus angina, looks like I will have to have surgery, but before then I await some more tests, Coronary angiography, and a Transoesophageal
echocardiogram
[ what a mouthful ] sometimes I feel I have a box of frogs in my chest, will be glad to get it all sorted

Dilated cardiomyopathy?? Help!
I recently had an
echocardiogram
that showed moderate to severe LV dilation- Ejection Fraction is 40-45 and mild LV depression. Also showed trace mitrial and tricuspid regurgitation and the anteroseptal wall is mildly hypokinetic. I have my follow up tomorrow and I've been so worried.

Procedure: A complete two-dimensional transthoracic

New Doctors more tests
This last week I saw the cardiologist and today had an
echocardiogram
test. I follow up with her in 3 weeks. Yes I was having episodes of my heart trying to break out of my chest and ended up in ER only to see I was fine. Once I was back on Metoprolol 50 mgs a.m.

Aortic Stenosis
My GP diagnosed this from an
echocardiogram
and said I didn't need to think about it for about 20 years, that eventually I would probably need a valve replacement. I just thought ok I'll worry about that later. I had another echo last week and Im waiting for the results.

Angina and heart murmur
I have recently been diagnosed with a heart murmur and angina, the Cardiologist ordered a
echocardiogram
which I had 2 days so I await the outcome of that, in the meantime I have to take an aspirin every day, I also have a sublingual spray and I take blood pressure meds.
