Question 1

Im 34 male. recently had an echocardiogram as they thought i had lvh. turns out everything is fine. i still do get pressure in my left arm every few days and when i take a bayer it usually subsides. my blood results are perfect. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

If you're concerned about coronary artery blockages, a resting echocardiogram doesn't test for that . A maximal treadmill stress test is the screening test for that. If your resting 12 lead EKG shows an abnormal pattern, a stress test using an accompanying nuclear scan or a stress echocardiogram should be done as the resting  EKG st-t wave abnormalities prevent diagnostic interpretation.

Question 2

How long should it take to get back my echocardiogram?

Accepted Answer

The echo is done over a 20 to 30 min study. The tests are usually batched and a designated reader interprets the study. Then in most places the study gets typed up and returned to chart. A week to 10 days would be about right. Any longer and you should call and enquire.

Question 3

I already got all my test results back. theyre all normal. just in case i want to get an echocardiogram, holter monitor, and possibly get some form of testing from a neurologist?

Accepted Answer

As you mention testing is pending, and I would like to know the results of the lab tests. So, we need more information to comment on your concerns. Ask your doctor who has the results of your tests. Best of health

Question 4

Waiting on the cardiologist to go over my 5 day holter and echocardiogram results. ive had 2 presyncope episodes since having the tests. i called the office and the nurse said the dr put in the notes for me to get a ttt. what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

I do not know what TTT means in KYian.  Never use abbreviations.  Make that in Kentucky Dr talk. Keep symptom diary about what went on before and after episodes.  Take BP seated standing and after standing up and down on your toes 10 times.

Question 5

If i take overdose of terbutaline sulphate does it get reflected in echocardiography?

Accepted Answer

The important answer i need is why did you do that?  Intentional or accidental?  Terbutaline can have serious side effects with normal dosing let alone in excess.  The echocardiographic evidence would not necessarily be specific to the drug but could reflect any arrythmias that may develop.  If you just did this i recommend you head to a local ed or call 911.

Question 10

For slight murmurs, is it appropriate to get an ekg or an echocardiogram?

Accepted Answer

Depending on what is heard, a murmur is an indication for an echo, and sometimes and ecg. Many murmurs are benign or flow murmurs which are usually short, soft, and heard best near your aortic valve listening area. Just like when water flows through your pipes you can hear it -- the same is true with flow murmurs. Often though, your doctor will want to check to ensure the heart valves are ok.
