I've noticed that my heart rate tends to go up to 130 when I'm feeling anxious, and I recently had an echo done. Thankfully, the report was normal, but it did show Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 54. I'm curious, can anxiety-induced high heart rate affect the echo results? Also, could these findings indicate any valvular disease?
High heart rate can affect certain echo parameters, but in your case, with a heart rate of 130 due to anxiety, the echo report came back normal. Valvular diseases can still be detected even with a high heart rate. In your case, the echo report showed Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction and an ejection fraction of 54%. To further evaluate any valvular disease, you may need additional tests such as a Doppler echocardiogram. No specific medication is needed for Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but it's important to manage any underlying conditions contributing to it.
