Can you explain these to me?Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with adequate contractility and systolic function.Aortic valve sclerosis
The overall left ventricular systolic function is estimated at 55-60%. The global longitudinal strain (GLS) is low normal measuring 17.5 %. There is mild mitral valve regurgitation. There is trace aortic valve regurgitation. What does this mean?
I had heart cath done -the results -23mmHG peak to peak gradient across the aortic valve on pullback and the LVEDP is 17mmHG - the LV systolic and diastolic pressures are elevated. I also have POTS and NCS. Does this test suggest valve replacement?
