Left ventricle: The cavity size is mildly dilated. Wall thickness is normal. Systolic function is moderately reduced. The estimated ejection fraction is 30-35%. There is moderate diffuse hypokinesis. Grade II diastolic dysfunction. Doppler parameters are consistent with elevated mean left atrial filling pressure. 2. Left atrium: The atrium is moderately dilated. 3. Mitral valve: There is moderate regurgitation. 4. Aortic root: The aortic root is normal-sized. 5. Right ventricle: The cavity size is normal. Systolic function is normal. 6. Right atrium: The atrium is normal in size. 7. Tricuspid valve: There is mild regurgitation. Estimated RVSP 45 mmHg. 8. Inferior vena cava: The IVC is dilated. 9. Pericardium, extracardiac: There is no pericardial effusion. Cardiac Catherization 9/21/22 - Cardiology recommended for patient to undergo left heart catheterization which was completed yesterday and revealed no significant coronary artery disease and marked elevated lvedp at 32 mmhg; Catheterization results were discussed with patient by cardiologist now found to have a nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
