Q: non sustained vt<30sec more concern in patients with left ventricular impaired function compared to normal lv function normal heart ejection fraction?

Yes, but concern: NS Ventricular tachycardia has a higher degree of concern in patients with impaired ejection fraction. However, the larger concern is that having runs of nonsustained VT are not particularly common in the normal population, so even in patients with normal EF, would still be concerned about ischemic heart disease in patients who are having runs of NS VT.

Question 1

2013 healthy heart. 2014 pv trace of pulmonic insufficiency impaired relaxation grade i, 2015 psuedo normalized relaxation grade ii. your plan for me?

Accepted Answer

The information: provided is not sufficient to allow a full treatment plan and the echocardiographic findings would need to be verified personally however it would not be unreasonable to do nothing if you had no symptoms or restrictions. If you were symptomatic I would consider low dose beta blocker if it were not otherwise contraindicated for you.

Question 2

ventricular faction 55-59percent. impaired relaxation left ventricular grade 1 left atrium mildly diameter. right ventricular normal wall and systolic mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is this really bad . heart echo results?

Accepted Answer

: You should have the doc who knows all the facets of your case to reflect on its' meaning. That said the ejection fraction is not worrisome.

Question 3

does the brain control heart electrical impulses?  if not, what does?  both my cardio and neurologist say me heart electrical system is unbalanced, that the contraction phase is longer than my relaxation phase, causing me "chest" pain.  what medicines are

Accepted Answer

Electrical systems: Our bodies have cells that are ALL  electrically active,there are numerous interconnects via multiple modalities(nerves,hormones etc) between the various systems that your attributed statement does not make sense;try talking again with the physicians such that through repetition you gain better insight into what they are trying to impart;failing this seek other opinion but become body educated

Question 4

what are the causes of diastolic heart failure?  can it be functional, or is it just structural?  my neurologist did a tilt table test, said my heart contraction phase is longer than my relaxation  phase.  i never had heart pain, breathlessness, before a

Accepted Answer

Diastolic heart fail: Diastolic dysfunction is secondary to defect in the relaxation of the  of the heart muscle, High blood pressure can cause this problem from thickened heart muscles.,

Question 5

could diastolic heart failure be the cause of my heart pain, tachycardia and breathlessness upon standing and walking around?  my neurologist said that my heart contraction phase is more pronounced than my relaxation phase, after having a tilt table test.

Accepted Answer

Diastolic dysfunctio: Those symptoms are commonly seen with diastolic dysfunction/diastolic heart failure.

Question 6

what causes impaired heart function ?

Accepted Answer

May causes: Impaired blood flow due to diseased coronary arteries is the common final pathways. Underlying issues include, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, valvular disease and sometimes infections.

Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Question 7

what is mild impaired heart function?

Accepted Answer

Early LV Dysfunction: Heart pumps the blood to lungs and receives oxygenated blood to pump to whole body. For pumping, left ventricle contracts, it can be affected by weakening of cardiac muscles or reduced outflow area, aortic valve problems. Symptoms are shortness of breath on exertion, early fatigue, ankle swelling, palpitations. Further impairment can be prevented by early diagnosis and taking care of the cause.

Question 8

how would a defective heart valve be detected? ecg?

Accepted Answer

Listening: A heart valve that either leaks or is too narrow is usually suspected by a doctor listening to the heart with a stethoscope and hearing a murmur. Further investigation, which is not always needed, is best done with an echocardiogram, a safe and painless test using sound waves. An ECG is not typically helpful for valve problems.

Question 9

echocardiography 2months ago. estimated lvef was 60%. the heart catheterization a month later estimated it at (about 50%).what does dr mean by (about 50) is it 49. and is the heart function impaired?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily : The heart Cath is more accurate than the estimated EF on echo ( high variability between interpretation of readers). The question would be how occluded are the coronaries arteries which supply the heart. Follow up with your cardiologist as scheduled.

Question 10

non sustained vt<30sec more concern in patients with left ventricular impaired function compared to normal lv function normal heart ejection fraction?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but concern: NS Ventricular tachycardia has a higher degree of concern in patients with impaired ejection fraction. However, the larger concern is that having runs of nonsustained VT are not particularly common in the normal population, so even in patients with normal EF, would still be concerned about ischemic heart disease in patients who are having runs of NS VT.
