Thankyou again for your reply.

You are again welcome :-)

All thanks and praises belong to GOD, Whom I love with all my heart,
soul, mind, and strength.

I have some other questions to ask... based on my tests. My cardio wont
be back till next monday (again), shes only there every monday, other
times, shes at another place, doesnt return calls, or even let me ask
questions half the time without having an attitude, lol (and well i
think im gonna have to see a different cardio.. )

So, okay.. lol.. here we go.

Whats the difference between LVH and Cardiomyopathy exactly?

LVH stands for left ventricular hypertrophy which means there is a
thickening of the walls of the left ventricle. Your echocardiogram
indicates that this is not the case for you.

Cardiomyopathy is a more general term that simply mean heart muscle
problem.

they'd be
clearly able to see LV Cardiomyopathy on an echo if i had that?

Correct.

and
based on what i posted.. does anything else seem evident that perhaps
that could be there?

also, on my 24 hour holter reading.. it picked up these:

" ventricular ectopic activity consisted of 117 beats, of which, 2
were in couplets, 74 were single PVC's, and 41 were VE's.

Supraventricular ectopic activity consisted of 1 PAC. "

she says missed beats and such like these are.. normal? i wanted to ask
her all about these, but, like i said.. she didnt have the time and
pretty much flicked me off.

what would youo make of those?

No red flags for me.

It is possible that you feel nearly every one of your missed beats and
that the only way to getting you feeling better is to keep you from
having them by figuring out what has changed to cause you to now either
have more or to feel them more.

again, thankyou so much for your replies and your taking time to answer
these.

Again, you are welcome :-)

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,

Andrew <><
