what the hell is this? (about echo)

OK... wtf. As you know, I go for my 2nd echo on Tuesday, so, hopefully
everything will be fine. Won't know anything till a few days later,
though.


Anyways, I was looking at my echo results from the other place (that
was screwing everything up), and I noticed something odd that for some
reason I didnt pick up on before. these are the same ones id posted on
here back in january.

on the M-Mode results.. there's the same exact measurements used for
several things here:

M-Mode results:
LV Diameter (Diastole) (3.7 - 5.4 cm) = 4.3
*LV Diameter (systole) = 2.1
*Septal Thickness (Diastole) (0.1 - 1.1cm) = 0.4
*LV Posterior Wall (Diastole) (0.7cm - 1.1 cm) = 0.4
*LA Diameter (Systole) (0.9 - 4.0 cm) = 2.4
*Aortic Root Diameter (2.0 - 3.7 cm) = 2.4
*Visualized ascending aorta diameter = 2.1
RV Diamater (Diastole) (0.5 - 2.5 cm) = 1.8
Aortic Cusp Separation = 1.6


Unless thats a major typo they made, which I surely hope wasn't...
um.. is it supposed to be like that? or what? That just looks REALLY
fishy to me. what the hell?!


Also, would that other stress echo (just a stress echo, not this one)
that I had done at the other place have shown any LVH? since it seemed
to be just dealing with the left ventrical anyway...
I've heard it doesn't.
