Hello
First, congratulations on your effort and attention to your health. Im not quite sure what this term sponaneous echo and spontaneous contrast means. I am going to speak to one of my colleagues with expertise in echo.
Clinically, it appears that there is a low liklihood that this actually represents a significant problem. Based upon the lack of any other finding
I think that a second opinion to review the test and the results might allay some of your concerns.
The mind is very powerful and it is certainly possible that there is some somatic component to your new symptoms.
Please confirm the accuracy of these terms and Ill do some due diligence on my side to investigate.
Thanks for your response. During both echocardiograms she saw a swirling of blood in the inferior vena cava ---- the term they used on the echo report was a spontanteous contrast.
The bloodwork I referenced included Prothrombin Gene Analysis, Partial Thromplastin Time, Protein C Activity & Antigen, Protein S Acitivity & Antigen, Anitthrombin Activity, Homocysteine, Full CBC and many others --- all came back within normal ranges.
Hello
Without seeing the study for myself, this finding appears to be an anatomically normal finding for you. It clearly is unrelated to the heart structures. All of your labs appear to be normal. I tend to agree with your doctors that your work up is unremarkable
