i got the pretzels...
instead of the chocolate: B3, disappointing but so are the little love handles i'm getting...and i haven't even seen mr.ben nor mr.jerry in a long while!
ms. cat's left atrium is enlarged. a change from the last time she had an echocardiogram done.. :-(
but, the thickness (hypertrophy) in her left ventricle and interventricular septum is still the same! :-)
they're just upping the dose of the meds she's already on...no muss, no fuss...
my little casestudy stint went alright! my hands shook the entire time, but i got through it...and can't remember a damn thing i said... HA! :-)
still have:
-2 finals
-1 wk of dog care
-frantic last minute christmas shopping.
still want:
-a toblerone!!!!
-and 1 nookie session...okay...perhaps 2..., okay, who am i kidding 3. ;-)

Is the lumen of the ventricle restricted, or has there been enlargement with the hypertrophy? What meds do they have her on again (I know you told me, but "mind like a sieve" takes on new meaning when applied to moi). Did they give you her ejection fraction? Heart rate? Anyhow, even with all the questions, I'm glad that things still seem to be under control with her.
I wouldn't worry too much about the enlargement of the atrium - that's almost to be expected in these cases. I fully expect Clueless Wonder to have the same development when I take him in for his echo this coming spring again.
And who are you kidding. What you want is one long, permanent cuddle session, interrupted only as needed by real life.

hi salamander,
no enlargement w/hypertrophy
she's on diltiazem, now it's 1/2 tab (morning) and 1/4 tab(at night)...the lumen isn't restricted. i'm sure i could get the exact #'s if i asked for them...i have the #'s from the last time...LVFW during diastole = 6mm
LVFW during systole = 10mm
-still no signs of congestive heart failure
you're right on the money with the cuddle thing...
