Coming off Amiodarone
Husband had an
echocardiogram
and his heart was fine, no abnormalities. He'd previously been told he had heart failure with a stretched left ventricle. Anyway, the
echocardiogram
showed that his heart had recovered.

Ablation or not?
After about 12 hours I was given bispropolol, and things gradually settled down, and I was discharged in the morning, with a letter telling me to make an urgent appointment with cardiology for an
echocardiogram
and 24hr monitor, and then a follow up with the cardiology.

Severe hypertension
I have just received a report from the Brompton Hospital stating that as well as severe COPD, I also have severe pulmonary hypertension on
echocardiogram
. Yet the PH Consultant does not plan any further treatment options because of my severe lung disease just review in 3 months?

Latest appointment
My cardiology appointment was postponed from last week to 1st May, so I guess my
echocardiogram
was ok after my SVT attck. I've decided that as nobody is worried about me I'll take my lead from them!

Amaurosis fugax
I have GCA and PMR. I had thought that all I needed to worry about is Prednisone. I described to one of my doctors a small eye incident. My eye exam was good. But he diagnosed Amauroses fugax, from my description of the incident: Early morning; one eye; very short in duration; sort of looking through

New here
Iv had a CT scan - clear,
Echocardiogram
- clear, just had MRI last week and booked in for EP Tests mid march. I've read up loads on AF and still trying to get my head round it all - could be hundreds of things causing it.

Here we go
Today I had my
Echocardiogram
where I got an unwanted surprise. I was told that one of my atrium is larger than the other meaning that Cardioversions may not keep me in sinus rhythm for long. First one was late November last year followed by my second on 4th Jan, just 6 weeks later.

Some good news!!
In July, I had an
echocardiogram
which indicated my heart was in fairly good shape. As far as I knew, I had not had the condition for very long, but could not be sure. Early in September I had a cardioversion and I am pleased to say that I am still in Sinus Rhythm.

Still no sign of a cardiologist
The
echocardiogram
shows normal biventricular systolic functions. I believe she is on Bisoprolol 5mg bd and Diltiazem 120mg RD od. We need to increase this further.........we need to increase the dose of Diltiazem and possibly even reintroduce a dose of Digoxin.....'.
