is an echocardiogram a meaningful test?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 1st, 2014 3:52 PM Author: Sooty business firm i have had the following tests this week:
2 EKG tests 24-hour EKG monitor in the hospital Holter Monitor 2 Echocardiogram tests Complete metabolic blood test Physical examination by a cardiologist heart x-ray
nothing abnormal was detected during any of these tests.
i am scheduled to have further 'stress' tests next week; but based on the above test results, what is the probability that my heart function is sound & that i will not drop dead? i am fairly certain i am going to die within a month. |

Date: May 1st, 2014 3:55 PM Author: Sooty business firm Cardiophobia (from the Greek: φόβος, Phóbos, meaning "fear" or "morbid fear" and cardio meaning "heart") is the fear of the heart or heart disease.[1] People with a family history or prior personal history of heart problems or diseases are more likely to develop this phobia.[citation needed] The phobic may also be a heart attack survivor with the fear of having another. Others are afraid of the image or symbol of a heart due to a bad relationship. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2557154&forum_id=2#25484724) |

Date: May 1st, 2014 4:15 PM Author: Sooty business firm i had an echocardiogram, which is an ultrasound test.
i am having a non-nuclear stress test on monday. are you saying this test is not worthwhile? |

Date: May 1st, 2014 9:13 PM Author: crusty kitty cat fat ankles nuclear is only one out there that can estimate blockage (ie coronary artery disease/sudden heart attack risk) without cutting you open you may have to obtain other prereq testing to get it covered by your ins though |

Date: May 1st, 2014 9:29 PM Author: Sooty business firm i will demand the nuclear test at my appointment.
i also will demand the calcium-score CT scan, and a coronary CT Angiography.
i will insist on having all known cardiac diagnostic tests. |

"In the past, if someone passed a [nuclear] stress test they were sent home with a hearty assurance that they were fine. We now know that just isn’t so. Bill Clinton had multiple stress tests, all of which came back negative, not long before he had quadruple bypass surgery."

Date: May 1st, 2014 4:18 PM Author: Sooty business firm but does an echocardiogram say more about the function of the heart rather than about the health of the arteries? at my age, considering my symptoms, i do not know whether to worry about blocked arteries. my issues are skipping beats and tachycardia/bradycardia, &tc.

After months of high blood pressure, an abysmal resting heart beat, family history of heart disease, my doctor demanded I get an echocardiogram/ultrasound done within a week. My blood pressure today was 150/110.
Am I going to die? |
