I finally received my report from my echo (which was done in lieu of a MUGA as my last MUGA indicated that I had right ventricle hypokinesis). The echo was much easier on me (my veins were protesting) and the echo report gives more information than the MUGA did. LVEF is down some, 60% from 63%, which is fine, and all my other measurements were in the normal range. New to me though was the pronouncement that I have "prominent epicardial fat," so another thing to worry about. And how did I feed that worry?--with a large piece of iced pound cake. Tomorrow . . .
