What Are The Ill Effects Of An Abnormal Diastole?
Hello: I recently had an Echocardiogram, along with a Nuclear Stress Test due to rule out problems due to family history. I was told everything was normal, but while reviewing the Echo, I noticed that my Right Ventricular Size (Diastole) was 33 mm which is actually considered moderately abnormal. This has me worried. Why would I be told everything is fine when this appears to be quite large?
