Should someone be concerned if their doctor states in their file after an echocardiogram that "a left superior vena cava is not present"? Is this a good or bad thing?

2 Answers

Answered on 23rd May '24

The absence of a left superior vena cava is a rare anatomical variation where the vein is not located in its usual position. It is generally considered a normal variant and not inherently good or bad. While it usually doesn't cause health issues, it can bring challenges during certain medical procedures.

Some people have a congenital anomaly characterized by the lack of an LSVC. It is usually not considered as alarming in itself and may have no serious clinical implications. Tthe person should talk about this finding with their healthcare provider – preferably a cardiologist ― so that it will be properly recorded in his or her medical history and to exclude any related anomalies or implications pertaining specifically for him or her.

Male | 18

You see­m to have intense che­st agony and muscle spasms creating a hole ne­ar your chest. These indications could come­ from angina, where your heart lacks blood. Re­lax, breathe dee­ply, remain calm. If pain worsens or continues, imme­diately visit the closest hospital for urge­nt care.

The normal limit of blood pressure in the age group above 64 is a reading of one thirty over seventy. Nevertheless, regular blood pressure monitoring of your dad should be continued. It is always advisable to seek advice from a cardiologist or general physician for any worries concerning blood pressure management and stating the correct dosage and frequency of treatment.

Hi doctor my name is Lakshmi Gopinath I have two hand pain and heart pain in two side.what is the solution.

Female | 23

These signs may indicate a condition known as angina which occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen. This results in discomfort or pressure around the chest; it may also radiate down the arm, up into the neck or back. If these are the symptoms you’re experiencing, then it’s important to get medical help right away because angina could mean that there is something wrong with your heart. Treatment options for angina include medicines, and lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise; sometimes surgery or other procedures might be necessary too if they can help improve blood flow to the heart.

Hi, I have seen a cardiologist 6months back and took ecg echo where he said everything is normal and the end of the echo report is normal considering everything but I feel there is typo error in the report stating LV inflow doppler relaxation pattern is absent...will that be a typo error only...I can attach the files

Female | 24

Please seek a detailed opinion of a cardiologist with your echo report and discuss your critical concern of LV inflow doppler relaxation pattern. It may be typo error, but you still have to be sure about it and seeking your doctor's professional help will be a good idea.
