View allI'm really worried about my heart health. I had an echocardiogram about 7 months ago, and it showed a 60% ejection fraction with trace mitral regurgitation and aortic regurgitation. I've been asking my doctor for another echo for weeks, but he's not keen on it, saying the heart structure won't change that quickly. I'm experiencing what I think are classic heart failure symptoms thoughevery heartbeat feels weak and faint, like my heart's struggling to pump blood. When I stand up, I get short of breath, and my heart rate shoots up. Should I keep pushing for a repeat echo? Is it possible for my heart to get worse in less than a year?
ECHO is done atleast every 6-12 months.
