I'm trying to understand my echocardiography report and it's a bit confusing. It mentions terms like LVH, RWM, and systolic function, and I see numbers related to valves and arteries. It mentions things like Aorta 3.9 cm, LA 3.4 cm, and LV 5.3x3.2 cm, with an EF of 70. Could you help me figure out what this means? Is everything normal, or should I be worried?

I've been having chest pain on the left side for about a year now. I've done all sorts of tests like ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. For more clarity, I even had a CT coronary angiogram done. I've attached the frame and report here. Could you please take a look and let me know what's going on?
It is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or other non-cardiac causes of chest pain. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and maintaining good posture may also be beneficial. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm 24 and I've been noticing my heart rate is usually under 60 beats a minute. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal? I weigh 120kg, and I'm 5'10". Also, I was diagnosed with GERD a few weeks back and have been on medication for it. Is it okay for my resting heart rate to be in the 50s?
A resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute is known as bradycardia. In your case, with a history of GERD and being on medication, it is important to consider the overall clinical picture. However, in general, a heart rate in the 50s can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. Given your weight and height, it would be advisable to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath. It is important to ensure that your GERD medication is not causing any adverse effects on your heart rate.
