I'm going through my echo report and have a few questions. It mentions normal LV with normal systolic function and no segmental wall motion abnormality, which sounds good, but I'm not quite sure what all that means. Should I be concerned about anything specific? It also says theres no vegetation or LV clot, which is a relief, but could you explain what "mild TR with mild PAH" means? And is a fast heart rate during the test something to be worried about? My EF is 60%, but I'm not sure if that's normal or not. Any insights would be appreciated!
Based on the Echo Report, everything seems to be within normal limits except for the mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). For mild TR and mild PAH, you can take Tablet Sildenafil 20mg once daily to help with the pulmonary hypertension. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned because I wasn't able to go through with the TMT test since my pulse rate was high at 120. However, my echocardiogram came back normal. Should I be worried about this? Could my anxiety be causing my pulse to be so high?
A high pulse rate of 120 beats per minute can be due to various reasons, including anxiety. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Since your echo is normal, it is reassuring regarding your heart function. To address the high pulse rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also help in reducing anxiety-related high pulse rates.
