Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
How far is the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction serious? I am 68 years old. I also suffer from diabetes, BP, heart issues. I have had an angioplasty done 10 years back and again an angiography five years back. Please advice.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have LV dysfunction possibly due to a combination of hypertension and coronary artery disease. I would like to know whether the severity of LV dysfunction is critical or not, what type of LV dysfunction is there and what is the ejection fraction? I would be happy if you could send me 2D echo report for my perusal and prognostication.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your prompt response. Now, since last around two months, majorly I am facing a problem of fatigue and does not get calm sleep. Many times I feel suffocation.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You have mild diastolic dysfunction. It is primarily due to hypertension and coronary artery disease. Also, as your systolic function is good, you need not worry.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you so much for the prompt response. I am relieved now considering the mild LVDD. There are no further queries.
