	Hi everyone: Diagnosis in Nov 06: "conceivable she has cardiomyopathy' A few weeks ago, I fell very ill. I went to my GP and told her I was sure I was in heart failure. No action except for routine blood tests. Desperately ill, went to a private cardio. Had a BNP and an echo. Diagnosis: BPN - 330 pc/ml. Echo says "left ventricle is mildly dilted. Borderline septal hypokinesis. What does this means? Trace mitral regurgitation, trace triscupid regurgiation, aorticl valve is trileaflet. What does this means? Why am I not given a firmer diagnosis and have not been put on meds yet? Should I seek a second opinion? Many thanks Daizy Back to Top

	Hi daizy, welcome to healing well forum. I am not a doctor nor do I have this condition so I cant really comment on your diagnosis or findings of your tests here. I would however say if your not feeling comfortable with the level of care that your getting at this point then most certianly get a second opinion. In any case it is good to get one regardless when your diagnosed with something of this magnitute. I have seen other members post regarding this same thing so hang tight...sometimes the heart forum here gets a little slow but I am sure they will be along shortly to post replies and advice/suggestions to you. Please do keep posting, I hope you find it helps with information and support.
