I'm a bit confused about the difference between a 2D echo and a stress 2D echo. Can you explain how they're different and in what situations each one might be used? Also, I've heard about coronary angiography but I'm not quite clear on what it is and why someone would need to have it done. I'm feeling a little anxious about all these procedures and would appreciate some clarity.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?

2D ECHO report normal--Normal LVRV Systolic function,no pericardial effusion, no IVC plethora,ascending aort dilated,mild mitral valve prolapse , no mitral regurgitation, normal LV function,,, tmt normal report---thread mill sress test--Less than 5 METS is poor, 5-8 METS is fair ,,9-11 METS is good,, 12 METS is excellent .
