I'm really worried about my mom who's 68. She's been diagnosed with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and has an overall LVEF of 50-50. They also mentioned grade diastolic dysfunction. I'm just trying to understand, is this something serious that we need to be concerned about?

I'm a bit worried about my recent 2D echo results. It mentions incomplete RBBB and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. Everything else seems normal, like the cardiac chamber dimensions and valve functions, with no wall motion abnormalities and a good LVEF of 60. Should I be concerned about these findings, and what do they mean for my heart health? Is there anything specific I need to look out for or any lifestyle changes I should consider?
Based on the findings from your 2D echo, you have incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) and Grade 1 left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. The report indicates that your cardiac chamber dimensions are normal, with no wall motion abnormalities present at rest. Your LV systolic function is good, with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 60%. However, there is evidence of Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. The cardiac valves, including the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves, are all normal. Additionally, there are no issues with the septae (IASIVS), clotvegetation, or pericardial effusion. The great arteries (aortapulmonary artery) are also normal. Based on these findings, no specific medication is typically prescribed for incomplete RBBB or Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. However, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health regularly with follow-up appointments and lifestyle modifications as recommended by your healthcare provider.

I've been wearing a Holter monitor for three days because I've been having these palpitations. I got the report back and it mentions something about arrhythmia. Is this something I should be worried about or is it considered normal?
Hi, wearing a Holter monitor for three days is a common way to monitor heart activity for palpitations. Arrhythmias can be detected in such monitoring, and it is important to review the specific type and frequency of arrhythmias mentioned in your report. Depending on the type of arrhythmia detected, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-100mgday) to help manage the palpitations and regulate your heart rhythm. It is important to follow up with your doctor to discuss the findings of the report and any recommended treatment options.
