Brief Answer:
Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello
The echo report is showing perfectly normal pumping capacity of the heart 60-65%.
The reduced LV compliance which they have mentioned is basically diastolic dysfunction which is an age related abnormality and is seen in majority of population after a certain age group.
Until unless LVEF is alright there is nothing to worry about LV compliance (diastolic dysfunction).
Other wise in patients with coronary artery disease, with reduced LVEF along with high grade diastolic dysfunction can cause heart failure and hospitalisation, which is a potential complication.
Kind Regards
