Thank you so much for your reply. My doctor still hasn't called me back and is not in the office today. I don't know why he would release results before talking to me.
Honestly your reply has been the only thing that made me feel a better in the last 4 days. I know you're not a doctor but I'm hopeful you are right about my results being essentially normal.
Best thing you could do is stop smoking, I am happy I never smoked. I'm not a MD , but your echo results would probably be termed essentially normal.
Just to clarify I received these results from my online medical chart Saturday. I never had results available before I got to talk to the doctor so I'm freaking out. Any input would be appreciated.
Interpreting an echo requires looking at the images and knowing the clinical history, so it's impossible to opine on the specifics of your case. Your report suggests that your left ventricular function is low normal and that your inferior vena cava is dilated, consistent perhaps with being volume overloaded. You're doing the right thing in exploring your situation, but you should discuss the specifics with your doctor.
