I have never seen such a good clear description of parts of the heart and what to expect. Easy to understand, did you know you're also a great teacher? Thanks doc.

[@RiderRescue]

Thanks Doc. This was super helpful. I just got an Echo yesterday and got the report back with all the data... (which of course I did not understand). Then I just got a note back from my doc that basically said there was nothing to be concerned by... without providing any additional level of detail. At least, now, having watched this... I can at least have a bit more intelligent discussion with my doc about the results and actually kinda sorta likely understand what he's talking about... thanks to watching your video. Thanks again, doc.

[@bosco9236]

Funny, I just had a Echo yesterday also, 7-20-2023. I haven't heard back from my doctor but the report didn't flag any problems. So I guess we're good to go.

[@Linda-s5j9d]

Thank you so much. I am scheduled for an echo in three weeks. Very nervous as heart disease runs in my family.

[@YassineElkhayari-q3x]

How is this test acirate to detect past heart attack

[@KunalKumar-i1q]

Sir, if heart beat rate is above 100+ during ECHO cardiography procedure can doctor detect valve regurgitation problem.. Or other valve related problem with rapid heart beat during echo?

[@MarkedMoneyTech]

I have to have one done. They found an enlarged heart in an x-ray whilst checking for bronchitis.

[@slerickson01]

That’s how my aortic aneurysm got discovered.

[@springatkinson5202]

How did things go

[@MrJonnyboyification]

I'm in the uk...I had a echo test last year , I got a letter saying my test was normal and I'm being referred back to my doctor...I've asked for a copy of my results and was told they'll be posted but nothing came through. It's like they don't want me to see the results.

[@mjprotect]

Thanks. Clearly explained. My mum is having test now. Hopefully nothing is serious.

[@emmanuelfavour6364]

Does anyone know where I can find the cardiac output in a report?

[@glob3242]

Explained very well Sir!

[@paulsampson7918]

Excellent explanation, very helpful, thanks.

[@slerickson01]

My echo indicated a 7.2cm aorta at the root. I flew back to the US & checked into emergency ward 2 days later.
I do the test annually now to follow the repairs done.

[@momoney4227]

Thank you this was very helpful because I have an appointment to go over my results and I don’t know why I would try to read it as if I’m a doctor and I would know what it means smh. 😂

[@veronicaarroyotorres9056]

Thanks!!!

[@DeborahHenrie]

I had a heart cath in June with a proximal occlusion of my right coronary artery at 95%. Whoa. This my dominant artery. I have 2 other stents and a pacemaker. I have never smoked and eat pretty decently. There are genetics on my mom's side. SCD at 45 The heart cath stated I had severe LVDP. I was told this was a "little extra water." My primary was shocked and ordered an echo which shows mild to moderate AI. My cardiologist says there is nothing he can do for me. This is not what I have read or listened to. So frustrating. I have had significant symptoms of edema, dyspnea, and presyncope. Also a hacking drive you crazy cough. What do you do when your doctors refuse to do anything? Thanks

[@RamyapriyaMuthukumar]

past two months had anxiety and stress did ecg it says sinus tacy and did echo two times it was normal still had fear and chest discomfort and stiffness chest pain again went to Cardiologist did my echo 2D in that report it says (mitral valve prolapse-anterior mitral leaflet) and in color flowing mapping section it has (mitral regurgitation -trivial) …my doctor said it's normal report no need ro worry and prescribed some medicines to be taken for 10 days is it serious
Im always anxious about heart and lack of sleep

[@champakeraminiyage6146]

What is the meaning of tricuspid valve is mild TR(r) TRPG not significant

[@johncarrith1349]

I recieve poor visualization of tte with bubble doctor didn’t really discuss

[@ameliarbakingsweets6117]

I have a myocardial Bridge.....

[@HollyLarsen]

Thanks.

[@prowelsh56]

Very helpful. Clear and concise. Not sure if anyone can answer: LVFS 28.8 9/27. 6/21 was 43.5% does this decrease value represent a decrease in function? while I see the range can be 45% to 28 on the lower level. the change for me from 43.5 to 28.8 is a change. I am thinking that because the decrease still fall into the " normal range" its not taken as serious on an indiviudal case basis....does anyone have thoughts on this question. Many thanks.

[@christinaruggiano7925]

Thank You! My PCP and I have just had this conversation and please know there are doctors just like you too he is one of them You’re Not Alone.

[@jjr6929]

Had an Echocardiogram on dec 14, 2022......how long to get results??

[@jgsuklover]

Thank you for this informative video!

[@brucemacsr.6776]

Very helpful. Thanks. It would waste my doctors time to run me thru the general basics. Now I will skip the 101 level questions and get right to my particular problem. Thanks again.

[@carolynlogan8011]

[@portfoliotalk8114]

Does eco check for CAD?

[@mdkamalhasan5066]

Thanks sir

[@lilly3486]

Could you have higher than 60% ejection function, or is that not physically possible? Would it mean that you have a stronger than normal heart?

[@dr.shadmbbsdphmasco]

Normal LVEF is 55 to 70%

[@prettyeunicelaxamana1401]

What if your EF is 71%?

[@vivianng4057]

Hi . If EF 46 % consider heart failure ?

[@richarizardplays9619]

considered as Heart Failure with mid-ranged Ejection Fraction

[@briang.7206]

There's a doctor here that says as the heart opens and closes they can estimate E.F. see the video by York cardiology. So its just an estimate from what I learned watching his videos.
