Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / October 2004Partial results of stress test and echo
OK, I called and was told that I have "right ventricle inflammation" and an "abnormal stress test". That was all they would tell me over the phone. I have an appointment with the cardio Friday to get the details. Meanwhile, anybody have a clue what the little info I have means? Sarah L "Friends are those people who know the words to the song in your heart and sing them back to you when you have forgotten the words." (unattributed) Sarah, There isn't enough info here to offer even a guess. There are many, many possibilities some very benign, some acute, some chronic. The most dangerous possibilities would have you seeing a cardiologist immediately so the fact that you are even waiting several days is not a bad sign. Prayers that this is just a little glitch- m Well, all I can tell you is that even though you had a heart attack, you have NO heart disease! rofl......isn't that what we all agreed upon at gimp picnic? lol! Seriously though, I'm not sure what that little bit of information means, but it doesn't sound real good. Praying that the cardiologist will have some answers for you on friday!!! Keep us posted! Donna G >Well, all I can tell you is that even though you had a heart attack, you >have NO heart disease! rofl......isn't that what we all agreed upon at >gimp picnic? lol! Yea, that's it. Thank goodness you reminded me. I'll just me with the cardiologist and try my denial out on him. Think he'll buy into it any more than you guys did? Sarah L "Friends are those people who know the words to the song in your heart and sing them back to you when you have forgotten the words." (unattributed) I would imagine that the abnormal stress test is because of your previous heart attack? Did your doctors tell you what area you had your heart attack in and what area was damaged in your heart? Donna G >I would imagine that the abnormal stress test is because of your >previous heart attack? Did your doctors tell you what area you had >your heart attack in and what area was damaged in your heart? Nope. I think that was part of what they were looking for during the testing. Sarah L "Friends are those people who know the words to the song in your heart and sing them back to you when you have forgotten the words." (unattributed) >Meanwhile, >anybody have a clue what the little info I have means? Nope, cause we all know you DON'T have heart trouble! <eg> Let us know what it does mean when you find out. ~KJ Akron, Ohio http://arthritisinsight.com Knowledge is power...support is essential. Tina's Togs Quality Plus Size and Vintage Fashions http://www.stores.ebay.com/tinastogs >Nope, cause we all know you DON'T have heart trouble! <eg> My new mantra. Until it gets squashed to pieces on Friday. Maybe the inflammation was there because my heart was swollen with joy at the prospect of seeing all of you gimps again, yea that's it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I did have to take a couple nitro today. Yuk!!! And the headache I got from the nitro was worse that the twitching/burning I was feeling. Can we reconsider the 3 disease limit? I am going way over and once I get the sleep apnea officially dx, then I'm screwed. Maybe 9 would be a good limit or how about a dozen. Or someone could tell me where the return line really is instead of sending me on these wild goose chases.

Yuk!!! And the headache I got from >the nitro was worse that the twitching/burning I was feeling Sarah, I am proud of you for taking the nitro. Do you suppose that hauling all of that "luggage" you took to the picnic contributed to the chest pain? Seriously, I am glad you have that appointment tomorrow. Saying prayers for you kiddo.

Sarah L "Friends are those people who know the words to the song in your heart and sing them back to you when you have forgotten the words." (unattributed) OK guys, my cath is schedule for Oct. 8th at 7:00 in the morning. Almost didn't need it, just about had a heart attack when she said I had to be at the hospital by 5:00. Geeze, don't these surgery types ever sleep? Well, my sister is supposed to be home tonight from her vacation and I get to tell her that she has to drive 25 minutes to pick me up and 20 minutes back to town. She's gonna kill me. She'll have to leave home around 4 a.m. I think I need to have her removed as my beneficiary.

(unattributed) Sarah, obviously you're talking about a cardiac cath. Sheesh, girl, what happened? I'm really sorry about the cardiac problems. Makes ME feel so lucky, after having all that stress testing, only to find out my heart is healthy and my cholesterol levels are really good. Anyway, I am sure it will all be OK. They are such routine procedures. My fingers are crossed...... SignatureDi dabell at optonline dot net www.pbase.com/di "Blossom where you are planted." Unknown >Sarah, obviously you're talking about a cardiac cath. Sheesh, girl, >what happened? I went to the ER with chest pain. They said it was RA. GP said "don't think so" and sent me to the cardio dude. Cardio dude said "you've already had a heart attack" and scheduled a stress test. I flunked. No one told me what to study. So, now I get a heart cath and I got to add 2 more meds to my list. See what happens when you're MIA. Sarah L "Friends are those people who know the words to the song in your heart and sing them back to you when you have forgotten the words." (unattributed) >OK guys, my cath is schedule for Oct. 8th at 7:00 in the morning. OK A week from Friday. >She's gonna kill me. I doubt it. lol Does she know yet that you had a heart attack? I think she may be more inclined to kill you for not telling her sooner, if you havent already told her. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green >Does she know yet that you had a heart attack? > >I think she may be more inclined to kill you for not telling her sooner, if >you >havent already told her. She knows but tends to respond in 2 ways. One is that she's afraid I'll end up like my mother, who is not a real joy to be around and is very dependent on my sister. The second is denial. She has never really been sick and really doesn't get the whole chronic illness thing except for diabetes which her husband has. Sarah L "Friends are those people who know the words to the song in your heart and sing them back to you when you have forgotten the words." (unattributed) Will be praying and thinking about you for a sucessful report from the cath. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

(unattributed) Maybe she should stay over. Or better yet, you girls can have a hotel night out near the hospital. Duckie > OK guys, my cath is schedule for Oct. 8th at 7:00 in the morning.

Or better yet, you girls >can have a hotel night out near the hospital. >Duckie She said she may come up here the night before and stay. I doubt that she does it. I don't think she would last the night with her hubby, or that he would last without her. The latter is pretty true. He's a brittle diabetic and if he's going to have an insulin reaction, its usually in the middle of the night. Sarah L "Friends are those people who know the words to the song in your heart and sing them back to you when you have forgotten the words." (unattributed) Just wondering... Did you have a Stress Echo, or an Echo then a Stress Test? The RV walls exhibit less visible motion during rest, but wall motion should increase during exercise. Decreased RV motion (during/after) exercise may infer the presence of inflammation. Abnormal Stress Test could mean anything., they have not given you enough information.
