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've been having left chest pain for the past two weeks and also feel this pulsating sensation in my stomach. I'm worried because I have high blood pressure too. Initially, I was thinking of getting a 2D echo for my chest pain, but now I'm wondering if I should also get a 2D scan for my abdomen to check on my abdominal aorta. Do you think that's necessary, or should I be considering a CT scan for my stomach instead? Any advice would be really helpful.
A 2D echocardiogram is primarily used to evaluate the heart, so it may not provide detailed information about the pulsating sensation in your stomach. For your stomach symptoms, a CT scan of the abdomen may be more appropriate to assess the abdominal aorta and other structures in the abdomen. Given your history of high blood pressure and chest pain, it is crucial to rule out any potential issues with the abdominal aorta. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action and to discuss the need for further imaging studies such as a CT scan of the abdomen.
