A member asked:
Is it possible to have angina without ischemia? i have mvp and left ventricular hypertrophy but had two neg nuc strestests with two cardiologists.

Not really: Angina is ischemic heart pain. There are many chest pains that are not heart or ischemia.

Variant Angina: Variant angina, also known as prinzmetal's angina, occurs in about 2-10% of angina patients and can be overlooked by cardiologists who stop testing after ruling out typical angina. Unlike typical angina, which is caused by atheroscleroisis, variant angina is caused by spasm of the coronary arteries, thereby decreasing blood flow to the heart.

I have left ventricular hypertrophy w/mvp. 2 normal nuc stress tests still have dull left sided ache. Does the lvh explain this symptom? On coreg (carvedilol) now
Upper left chest ache since 2010. 2 cardiologists, 2 nst's(normal) and one echo (which showed mvp) at my wits end. Ideas?
I was diagnosed with MVP. My cardiologist tells me I'm fine and all my tests look good. Yet, I constantly have symptoms. Why? I'm a 26 y/o male
I have "mild MVP" with symptoms regularly. I'm wondering what the cardiologist will say when I meet with her to go over the echo. Probable treatment?
My primary dr. Heard murmur and thought mvp (no click, just murmur). Echo came back normal. Went to cardiologist and said it sounded innocent. I'm ok?
