SPRV2 -15, SPVR4 3, BPRS 2, Vals.R 1, K30/15 1.10, E/IR 1.20

LVETi 391, PEP 93, PEPiLVETI 0.28

RI 39 , PTG I 52, PTG R 1.4

How this is to be interpretated particularly for heart function.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

I carefully reviewed your uploaded results of RISC test.

RISC test is really an excellent investigation tool for exploring cardiovascular health and overall cardio-metabolic risk. It utilizes over 30 medical indicators to yield a comprehensive risk assessment.

Now, returning to our field of interest, I would like to explain that heart rate variability indexes, which yield valuable information about the overall autonomic nervous system functioning and their respective cardiac drive are quite within normal ranges (SDNN, rMSSD and their derivatives).

But, T Power is less than 1000 ms2 and LF/HF is abnormally increased which denote respectively a decrease in overall autonomic activity indicating underlying risk factors such as diabetes, heart disease, etc. and increased sympathetic activity or reduced parasympathetic activity (associated with metabolic syndrome).

Also, regarding cardiac performance indexes, they seem within normal ranges too (LVETi, PEP and their ratio).

Regarding Sympathetic Nerve Damage Test the respective indexes are abnormally low (SPVR2, SPVR4) showing a slight sympathetic nerve dysfunction.

So, coming to this point, I would explain that your cardiovascular condition is actually satisfactory, BUT, facing some slight variations in sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system imbalances and neuronal dysfunction, I would strongly recommend considering a strict glucose metabolism control (including a balanced diet and body weight control), because your HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) is above the normal range (greater than 5.6%).

You are at high risk for metabolic syndrome consequences and future cardiovascular events, if no timely interventions in your daily life-style regimen are undertaken.

You need to discuss with your attending physician on the above mentioned issues to find the best strategies for addressing these issues.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

In case of any further uncertainties, feel free to ask me again.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
