Just wondered if anyone could make sense of this
i was an inpatient in hospital and had a test done (echo on my heart). I was told afterwards by the doctor (not a consultant, I think a speciality cardiology dr) that the results seemed generally ok, however there was part of it that was suspicious and the septum of my heart was sluggish. They said it could potentially be artifact on the echo but that I would need a cardiac mri to be sure. They said if the mri showed the same results then they would take it from there. I remember discussing it with the nurse later who said ‘oh sluggish is a good way to describe myopathy’. Later that night, I had some more questions about it and went to ask the nurse (different nurse) however she went and checked and couldn’t find any note of what I was told and instead she said it was just recorded as normal. Since then I’ve been in and out of hospital for my heart (an unrelated arythmia) and my discharge letter always says echo 2024 normal.
im sure it is normal, im just not quite sure why I was told it wasn’t initially and now there’s literally no trace of that. Does anyone know what could have happened? Is it possible the first dr jumped the gun a bit and then the consultant reviewed it later and put it as normal? Just so confused about it all and deep down slightly worried in case i did need to get a cardiac mri to double check it and I haven’t had that
