So I just got back from the cardioligist...he said that my heart looks beautiful!

Any who here are the specs on the ol ticker!

2D echo

Lv Diastolic Diameter Base Lx 5.7cm (3.6-5.2)
Lv Systolic Base Lx 3.6cm (2.3-4.9)
RV Diameter 2.3 cm
Fractional Shortening BASE 0.36 (0.18-0.42)
Estimated LV ejection fraction 60 %
IVS Dialostic Thickness 1.1cm(0.6-1.1)
IVS Diastolic Thickness 1.1 cm (0.6-1.1)
LVPW Diastolic Thickness (0.6-1.1)

DOPPLER
Av Peak Velocity 149 cm/s
Av peak Gradient 8.9 mmHg
Heart rate 60 bpm
mitral E point Velocity 107 cm/s
mitral A point velocity 68cm/s
mitral E to A ratio 1.6
MV pressure Half Time 46 ms
MV Pressure Half time 46 ms
MV Area PHT 4.8 cm
PV Peak Velocity 111 cm/s
PV Peak GradIent 4.9 mmHg
M_MODE
LA systolic Diameter MM 3.9 (1.9-3.7)
Aortic Root Diameter MM 3.6 (2.0-3.7)

It said in the findings that I had some mild mitral regugitation...but that the mitral valve was normaly structred.

Anyhow you guys are more apt to make sense out of this than I can.

But I know two things for sure, one is the treadmill they use for the stress test will reduce your legs to jelly in about 2 seconds flat...and the other is what a relief it is to know that the ol ticker is ok.

And with that I hope yall have a good day!
