Hi guys,

The dr just called me now for my results of my Echo Heart Test on 30th Dec.

It says I have Mild Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction. Been referred now to see a cardiologist and I am paying privately so seeing them on Tuesday next week.

Freaking out because I googled it like an idiot and it is awful - outcomes are not good!

Dr said to speak to cardiologist but this may be the cause of my dizziness/tingling in chest/pain in arm etc that I have had for 4 months now.

Anyone else heard of this before?

Mild suggests not too bad? Sending hugs x

It's an early sign of heart disease. Something millions of americans suffer from. If you keep it under control you'll be absolutely fine.

Dr said it is so rare at my age as I am only 32 and she said we normally see this in patients who are 65+. That has got me worried too
