I'm looking at my mom's ECG and echo reports, and I'm kind of worried. The ECG mentions poor R wave progression from V1 to V3, and the echo report says she has grade 1 left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. I'm not sure what that means. The thing is, she doesn't have any heart issue symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Could you help me understand what these findings imply?

View allMy final diagnosis shows mitral annular calcification with concentric LVH and RWMA in the LCX territory. There's mild LV dysfunction with an LVEF of 49%, trivial MR, and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. No TR or PE was noted. Do I need surgery for this, or what treatment options should I consider? I'm 65 and a bit worried about the next steps.
Given your diagnosis of mitral annular calcification, concentric LVH, RWMA in the LCX territory, mild LV dysfunction (LVEF 49%), trivial MR, and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, you don't necessarily need surgery for the mitral annular calcification itself. The focus should be on managing the LV dysfunction, coronary artery disease (CAD), and potential issues related to the RWMA.
