Hi
Can anyone out there tell me what all this means ?
I had a ECHO on my heart 2 months ago and i have not seen a cardiologist for the final results, they only refered me back to the doc!!
The doc says that i have nothing to worry about for the next 50 years!! Butt hes not the one having PVC and dizzy spells with nausea.
Your kind word will be most helpfull :)
