latest test results

I have just  received a holtor report that  says  I  have  over  7  days  sinus rhythm   very  few  mainly  unifocal  VE's  and very few   SVE's    Sinus  tachy  was  seen at times consistent with brisk  walks

The only thing I  can say  about my echocardiogram some time back is that it showed  turbulent   flow, not explained,  and  a  LV  Aorta  gradient of   6 mm/hg

IPresumably  a  small number of VE's and SVE's  is not concerning in such a case  as mine

I  had  an echo a  year  ago  that ultimately was  said not  to  show LV  hypertrophy .  I had  an ecg a  few months  ago  that was bang onb the borderline of  LV  voltage  criteria, with no other  abnormalities,  no strain etc

I  would  say  however that  I sometimes notice VE's  when walking/cycling,  which  can be a worry

My   primary care  doctor  thinks  the presence of a few VE's  and SVE's  is  not  to worry  about

Thasnk you  for any  answers

Hello,

No one can diagnose via internet but generally speaking very few ventricular  extrasystoles  or supraventricular extrasystoles (as in your Holter monitoring) are a very common finding and are not thought to be abnormal


Echocardiography is more specific than ECG voltage criteria for hypertrophy and if your echo did not show hypertrophy borderline ecg voltage criteria are not diagnostic.

Best regards
