Echocardiogram Results

[Guest guest]

I received the results of my echo:

1. Left ventricular systolic function is preserved with estimated EF of

60%.

2. There is diastolic dysfunction.

3. There is mild left atrial enlargement

with trace mitral regurgitation.

4. There is a trace aortic

insufficiency without aortic stenosis.

5. There is mild tricuspid with

regurgitation.

6. There is mild-to-moderate

elevation of pulmonary artery pressure as described above.

(Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure

(estimated): 45.0 mmHg)

7. There is no intracardiac mass, thrombus or pericardial effusion.

My pulmo doc said the diastolic dysfunction might be caused by my sleep apnea and should correct by using the CPAP. I've been using CPAP for about 3 months now. He is going to review my recordings. He referred me to a cardiologist for a cardiac catheterization test.Anyone have else have echo results like this? Comments? C_53_Familial IPF_5/09Washington
