What Does My Echocardiogram Test Results Indicate?

Posted on Mon, 21 Mar 2016

Question: Echocardiogram results came in. Everything looks normal/within range, save 2 things:

MV A velocity = 0.9 with normal ranges being between 0.2-0.7 m/sec. Also, AV Peak Velocity is 0.9 with normal ranges being 1.0-1.7 m/sec. I'm 23 years old and suffer from panic disorder. Is this cause for concern? What do those units even mean?

Slight individual variations are permitted

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,

If cardiac chambers are with normal sizes, heart contractility is normal, and valvas are normal, then slight individuals variations, such as in your case, are permitted.
Don't worry. There is nothing abnormal.

Take care
