Hey Ross,
Are you saying that is what they listed as the ?normal? on your report?
This is the info off Ryan?s last echo.... You think I got the acronyms listed correctly?
Left Ventricular Diastolic Dimension 5.9 ? LVIDd? 3.7-5.6
Left Ventricular Systolic Dimension 3.9 ? LVIDs? 2.4-3.4
Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction 55
Right Ventricular Dimension 4.1 Right Ventricle Normal Value .7-2.3
Right Ventricular Septal Thickness 1.1 IVSd? 0.6-1.1
Posterior Wall Thickness .8 ? LVPWd? 0.6-1.1
Left Atrial Dimension 3.09 - LA dimension 1.9-4.0
Aortic Root Dimension 4.6 -- AO Root Dimension. 2.0-3.7
Aortic Valve 5.6
Mitral Valve 4.4
I took the aortic valve dimensions and Left atrial Dimension from his report before last because they weren't listed on his last report. But all the numbers on that report were higher than the ones on the most recent report. .... and my cardio tells me the numbers don't go down... it's the way the tech takes the measurment. So I'm making sure he sees the same tech every time we do an echo now. That's one reason we did the test where they load you up with the coloring and the machine takes about a zillion pictures.... can't think of what that test was called right now.
He's scheduled for another echo the week of his Thanksgiving break from college. My cardio says he'll need surgery before he graduates....... so I'm trying to talk him into double majoring or becoming a doctor,
so he'll be in college longer. lol
Ry says he'd rather have open heart surgery than spend another two years in college. lol
He's under our insurance as long as he's in college and under ...I think it's 23 years of age. So you think that means if he has the surgery the day before classes end his senior year he's covered?
