Echocardiogram image questions - left ventricular hypertrophy

@gerrycf I had 2 echocardiograms and finally had an MRI cardiac using the Siemens 3.0 Tesla MRI at UCLA today. Got the result back the same day and there is no myocardial hypertrophy found at all. In fact, my aorta is fine as well compared to the echo results. I am happy with the result but didn't realize that an echocardiogram is not very accurate compared to the MRI cardiac

@lpaelevated4 Happy to hear .... good news for you. I have had so many "echocardiagrams" and they have always been normal. I've also had "normal" ECGs with some borderline. Long story short - 4 stents in LAD and finally upon my insistence for 2+ years I finally had an cardiac MRI (after requesting it to my 5 prior cardiologists who felt it was unnecessary), and finally I demanded it with my new woman cardio who agreed to do it; a diagnosis of microvascular disease (global) which finally explains all my symptoms and we started treatment. So advice is be your own advicoate - and to all doctors please listen to your patients.
