This is a comprehensive echocardiogram (2D Echo) report. Here is a clear breakdown of what is normal, what is abnormal, and what it means:

Echocardiography Report Analysis — Lalita Devi, 46F

Measurements — Normal vs. Abnormal

ParameterPatient's ValueNormal RangeStatus
Aortic Root30 mm20–37 mm✅ Normal
Left Atrium34 mm≤40 mm (women)✅ Normal
LV-EDD42 mm39–53 mm (women)✅ Normal
LV-ESD28 mm≤35 mm✅ Normal
LV-EF (Ejection Fraction)60%≥55% normalNormal
IVS Thickness (ED)14 mm≤11 mm normal⚠️ Elevated
LVPW Thickness (ED)13 mm≤11 mm normal⚠️ Elevated
Mitral Valve Orifice Area3.0 cm²>1.5 cm²✅ Normal
RV Size28 mm≤33 mm✅ Normal
PericardiumNormal✅ Normal

Impression — Plain Language Summary

✅ What is NORMAL / REASSURING:
  • Heart pump function is normal — LVEF 60% is perfectly fine (normal is ≥55%)
  • No holes in the heart (no ASD, VSD, PDA)
  • No valve blockage (no aortic stenosis, no tricuspid/pulmonary stenosis)
  • No significant valve leaks — aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves are all normal
  • No fluid around the heart (no pericardial effusion)
  • No clots or vegetations (infection on valves)
  • No regional wall motion abnormality (no evidence of a heart attack)
  • Right ventricle is normal
⚠️ What is ABNORMAL — Requires Attention:
  1. Mild Concentric Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH): Both the IVS (14 mm) and posterior wall (13 mm) are thicker than normal (normal ≤11 mm). This means the heart muscle has thickened. The most common cause in a 46-year-old woman is uncontrolled or longstanding high blood pressure (hypertension). As explained in Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology, 7th Ed. — septal thickness above 11 mm in a hypertensive patient is diagnostic of concentric LVH.
  2. Trace Mitral Regurgitation: A very tiny, trivial leak of the mitral valve. This is considered a minor finding and is present in many healthy adults. No treatment needed.
  3. Grade I LV Diastolic Dysfunction: The heart muscle is stiffened slightly, causing mild impairment in relaxation (filling phase). This is the earliest grade (Grade I of IV) and is commonly seen with LVH and hypertension. It does NOT mean heart failure, but is a warning sign.

What This Report Means Overall

This echo is NOT fully normal. The heart pump (systolic function) works well, but there are signs of hypertensive heart disease — thickened walls and early diastolic stiffness. This is a common finding in adults with blood pressure problems.
Key next steps (to discuss with her doctor):
  • Check blood pressure — if not already diagnosed with hypertension, it should be investigated
  • Blood sugar/HbA1c check (since referred by Dr. Care Hospital and seen by a Cardiologist & Diabetologist)
  • Regular follow-up echocardiograms to monitor LVH progression
  • Appropriate medications (commonly ACE inhibitors or ARBs help reduce LVH)

Check this report it is normal or not

This is the same report as before. Here is the full analysis:

Echocardiography Report — Lalita Devi, 46F (R.N. Hospital, 13-05-2026)

Measurements — Normal vs. Abnormal

ParameterPatient's ValueNormal RangeStatus
Aortic Root30 mm20–37 mm✅ Normal
Left Atrium34 mm≤40 mm✅ Normal
LV-EDD42 mm39–53 mm✅ Normal
LV-ESD28 mm≤35 mm✅ Normal
LV Ejection Fraction60%≥55%✅ Normal
IVS Thickness14 mm≤11 mm⚠️ Abnormal
LVPW Thickness13 mm≤11 mm⚠️ Abnormal
Mitral Valve Orifice Area3.0 cm²>1.5 cm²✅ Normal
RV Size28 mm≤33 mm✅ Normal
PericardiumNormal✅ Normal

What Is Normal ✅

  • Heart pumping function is good — EF of 60% is normal
  • No holes in the heart (no ASD, VSD, PDA)
  • No blockage of any valve (no aortic or pulmonary stenosis)
  • No significant valve leaks — aortic, tricuspid, pulmonary valves all normal
  • No fluid around the heart
  • No clots, no vegetations (no infection on valves)
  • No evidence of heart attack (no wall motion abnormality)
  • Right ventricle normal

What Is Abnormal ⚠️

1. Mild Concentric Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) Both heart walls are thickened (IVS = 14 mm, posterior wall = 13 mm; normal ≤11 mm). This means the heart muscle has become thick due to working against high pressure. The most common cause in a 46-year-old woman is high blood pressure (hypertension). This is not immediately dangerous but needs treatment.
2. Trace Mitral Regurgitation A very tiny leak of the mitral valve. This is a minor finding, seen in many normal adults. No treatment required.
3. Grade I LV Diastolic Dysfunction The heart muscle is mildly stiff and does not relax properly during filling. This is the earliest and mildest grade (Grade I out of IV). It does not mean heart failure, but it is a warning sign — commonly caused by hypertension and LVH.

Overall Verdict

This report is NOT fully normal. The heart's pumping (systolic) function is fine, but there are clear signs of hypertensive heart disease — thickened walls + early diastolic stiffness.

Recommended Next Steps (discuss with doctor)

  • ✅ Blood pressure monitoring and control
  • ✅ Blood sugar / HbA1c check (the referring cardiologist is also a diabetologist)
  • ✅ Medications — ACE inhibitors or ARBs help reverse LVH over time
  • ✅ Repeat echo in 6–12 months to track progress
  • ✅ Lifestyle changes — low-salt diet, regular walking, weight management
