Experienced breathlessness, s.tachycardia my dr did ekg and echo and found poor r wave abnormal septal motion what tests will a cardiologist do next?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe a CT or MRI: The peoblem you mention suggest heart muscle damage which is very strange for a 19 year old. For an older person with risk factors for heart disease, a cardiac catheterization may be in order. For someone your age, an MRI or a cardiac CT may be diagnostic

I'm 22year old female. I had my echo and ecg done due to shortness of breath on exertion and high heart rate. Ecg shows sinus tachycardia(HR 129bpm). Echo are all normal except mild MR, mild TR/mild PAH with RVSP 45mmhg. Is mild PAH causing symptoms?
