I finally got the echocardiogram report. Here is what looks to me like the salient parts:

" Final Impressions
The LV ejection fraction is normal
The left ventricular cavity size is normal
Interventricular septal thickness is increased at 1.3 cm consistent with mild LVH
LV mass indexed to BSA is however normal at 95 g/m2 (N<102 g/m2)
The right ventricular size is normal

Description of Findings

Cardiac Rhythm: Normal sinus rhythm
Left Ventricle: The left ventricular cavity size is normal. Visually estimated left ventricular ejection fraction is 60-65%. The LV ejection fraction is normal. LV ejection fraction is normal at 65.7% using biplane Simpson's method.
Left Ventricular Wall Motion: Left ventricular systolic thickening is normal in all segments.
Right Ventricle: The right ventricular size is normal. Global RV systolic function is normal. TAPSE measures 2.14 cm. The RV TDI s' velocity is 10.6 cm/sec.
Aortic Valve: The aortic valve is normal in structure and function.
Mitral Valve: The mitral valve is normal in structure and function.
Tricuspid Valve: The tricuspid valve is normal in structure and function.
Trace tricuspid regurgitation. The tricuspid regurgitatnt velocity is 2.07 m/s and with an assumed right partial pressure of 3 mmHg, the estimated right ventricular systolic pressure is normal at 20.1 mmHg.
Pulmonic Valve: The pulmonic valve is normal in structure and function.
Aorta: Ascending aorta 3.6 cm.
Venous: Inferior vena cava is normal with normal inspiratory collapse.
Pericardium: No pericardial effusion is seen. "

Then there are various measurements. "2D" and "Doppler". I haven't typed them in, but can do so.

Anyone know what all this means? I see the word "normal" repeated a lot.
