Hello Sir
My mother had some problem last month . She had coughing whole winter but last month she had an very sever attact of cough ..that night i took her to hospital as she is a diabitics patient from last 10 to 12 year in hospital they checked her suger which was very high so they just gave her some medicine and we came back ...then few days after i took my mother to her regular doctor he suggested us to do "Echocardiography" report of thats is :-
- Global Hypokinesia of LV
- Mild Mitral Regurgitation
- Mild TR(Pah present )(RAP+54mm)
- LV Diastolic Dysfunction
- LV Systolic Dysfunction (EF 42%)
Her age is 54 wieght is 67. we also did other tests like astma ,bronkitus and some more test which were normal . then Oure doctor refered us to some cadiologist then i took my mother to some cardiologist .they suggested to do angiography ..the result were not so good the report is :-
