small left ventricle?
These are my recent echo report results which I am having trouble interpreting.
Left ventricle: The left ventricular cavity is small. There is normal left ventricular wall thickness. Global left ventricular function is normal. Abnormal septal motion consistent with post-operative status. Diastolic function could not be assessed due to tachycardia.
Mitral valve: Normal. There is trace regurgitation.
Tricuspid valve: Normal. There is trace regurgitation.
Pulmonic valve: Normal. There is trace regurgitation.
Atrial septum: Appears normal without evidence of shunting by 2D imaging and color doppler. The interatrial septum is excessively mobile.
Aorta: The aorta at the level of the sinuses of valsalva is borderline dilated with a diameter of 3.4cm. The ascending aorta is normal in size with a diameter of 2.8cm.

I have great docs in NYC and boston If you dont ter answers out there

Great. Thanks for the input!
Diastolic heart failure... normal ej but abnormal filling pressures due to hypertophy... what is your doc saying?

Nothing... I got the report myself because my doctor is not proactive. I’m also awaiting results for a suspected genetic connective tissue disorder.
Hmmm, well if arteries are collapsing that would cause high afterload. What coast you on?
