Diagnostic Tests for Valvular heart disease.


The best initial test for all valvular heart disease is the echocardiogram.
Transesophageal echo is generally both more sensitive and more specific than transthoracic echo.
Catheterization is the most accurate test. Catheterization allows the most precise measurement of valvular diameter, as well as the exact pressure gradient across the valve.
There is nothing specific about the EKG in those with valvular heart disease. The EKG is expected to show hypertrophy of chambers, but you cannot confirm a diagnosis of valvular heart disease from an EKG alone.

  1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
