Hi Joyce, sorry for late reply. Your gradient is the rate at which your blood goes out of your left ventricle. Mine got up to 111 on valsalva (movement) it should be around 1 - 10 I believe. The
Obstruction interferes with the outflow of blood. Beta blockers made me feel terrible as I had a low pulse anyway. Since the operation I now have high Blood pressure and have gone into Atrial fibrillation which I didn’t have before, bp is constantly 175/110 yes too high I know and trying to sort it out now. I am 14 weeks out of surgery and energy just coming back and started cardio rehab last week. Keep me posted how are doing? Katie

My gradient on Valsalva is 13mm - at least that is what I see on the stress echo - it seems like we must be using different types of numbers??? Maybe someone on this group could explain that to me? Thanks! Joyce
