I have never seen such a good clear description of parts of the heart and what to expect. Easy to understand, did you know you're also a great teacher? Thanks doc.

Thank You! My PCP and I have just had this conversation and please know there are doctors just like you too he is one of them You’re Not Alone.

Thanks Doc. This was super helpful. I just got an Echo yesterday and got the report back with all the data... (which of course I did not understand). Then I just got a note back from my doc that basically said there was nothing to be concerned by... without providing any additional level of detail. At least, now, having watched this... I can at least have a bit more intelligent discussion with my doc about the results and actually kinda sorta likely understand what he's talking about... thanks to watching your video. Thanks again, doc.

Thank you for such an excellent explanation of the echocardiogram report … my report came back as ‘great’ as in totally normal, but I wanted to understand what was being measured. This video answered all my questions.

[bettybella]

Thank you for explaining with such great clarity.

My echo indicated a 7.2cm aorta at the root. I flew back to the US & checked into emergency ward 2 days later.
I do the test annually now to follow the repairs done.

Thanks. Clearly explained. My mum is having test now. Hopefully nothing is serious.

[momoney]

Thank you this was very helpful because I have an appointment to go over my results and I don’t know why I would try to read it as if I’m a doctor and I would know what it means smh. 😂

Extreamly helpful. Which test can give a view of things that can't be seen on the thoratic echocardiogram? It it the esophageal echocardiogram?

[brucemacsr.]

Very helpful. Thanks. It would waste my doctors time to run me thru the general basics. Now I will skip the 101 level questions and get right to my particular problem. Thanks again.

Thank you so much. I am scheduled for an echo in three weeks. Very nervous as heart disease runs in my family.

I'm in the uk...I had a echo test last year, I got a letter saying my test was normal and I'm being referred back to my doctor...I've asked for a copy of my results and was told they'll be posted but nothing came through. It's like they don't want me to see the results.
