Your lecture was very informative, I recently had a nuclear stress test 9-27-22. My Dr or anyone explained what the test involved, what nuclear part meant ect. Medical practices in America has become so impersonal, your treated more like a case number. Thank you for what you do, I hope you will have empathy for your patients.

@@t.d.harris1311 Thank you so much. Glad to hear that my video was useful to you. I think it's not only in America that medical practices have become impersonal - unfortunately. 😥

Very helpful, thank you. I gave LBBB and am scheduled for a nuclear stress test. This helped me unthinkably better.

[@dwen5065]

My LBBB showed generally healthy heart but only 30% ejection fraction. They fast tracked me for echocardiogram, which showed 15-20% EF. They fast tracked me (2 days) for full heart catheritization, which I have tomorrow. They don’t yet see what’s wrong. Note that I am healthy, of normal weight, was using my exercise bike for an hour a day, don’t smoke, don’t drink heavily, normal blood pressure. I’m 67 yo. What the hell?
