What is ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD)
Wondering prognosis and a RVSD explained in layman's terms. Is it classed as heaet failure? Non smoker...Burning (brain, spine and heart) knotting, pulling, uncomfort, lack of breath, air hunger....list goes on. Thanks
Your right ventricle- lower chamber is not able to push enough blood out to your pulmonary vasculature ( the vessels In your lungs) ... in your body you actually have two different circulation paths. Right heart and left heart. So you can have issuens with just one side of your heart. Most probably due to high afterload in the pulmonary vasculature. Did you have a rhc?

Hi thank you for your reply. I have ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD) (via letter) Im yet to discuss it, but there is a wait. So trying to find more information so I can help myself. If RHC is right heart catheterization, I dont have that. So will explain a lot why I get exhausted on small tasks, or even talking at times. Is it classed as heart disease do you know? Im not familiar with a high afterload in the pulmonary vasculature. I will have a search or be grateful for that explained. Ty
You need a right heart cath. Potentially with angiography...
Pressures need to be evaluated.
You also need a a cmr -( cardiac mri) to look at qp/qs ratio to see if it's happening from an asd or other anomoly.
Yes, it would explain your symptoms.
Let me know if you have other questions ;)

Thanks so much, I'd rather know the ins and outs no matter what. I've had a 3 day ECG and scan. That's where that diagnosis came from. Then I had an event monitor on, but only 10 readings. Not sure if I picked my recordings wisely or not as expected to have 20 readings. But it ended on 10. So appreciate this, gives me an insight, as Mr Google wasn't too helpful on this one. I will look up the above and may well be asking more :)
No problem... I'm here anytime... feel free to PM me as well.
I also have a small brain aneurysm. Left cavernous sinus region. Is it possible they related? Unrupture and unmonitored aa operation outweighs the risk and dont fit criteria.
Could have been a paradoxical emboli... you could have an asd
I'm not surprised, I will PM you.
