i appreciate your time, effort and energies in response to
my request, Andrew. this was most helpful to me. one last
request, if you would be inclined and as kind as you have
already been. what do these suffixes/additions to the
millimeter abreviations mean?

appreciatively, kate

Echocardiogram studies are more than just the
measurements, Kate.
i understand that, Andrew--- from a velocity,
reguritation, function, effusion, enlargement,
cardiomyopathy and insufficiency standpoint; and
that

occurred.
One can make an educated guess by the way the heart looks

***only if there is damage visible in the doppler imagery.
If there is significant damage, it should be visible in the
2D echo images rather than in the doppler images.

i wish to compare the measurements in my two studies,

Why hasn't your cardiologist made the comparisons for you?

Quoted message said:us anything new. and that was good news. but that has
nothing to do with what i requested of the newsgroup.
This newsgroup is about discussion.
Quoted message said:
i want to correlate the details; enjoy doing this kind of
thing myself and want to see if i can make the pieces line
up---kinda like balancing a checkbook to the penny and
understanding the process by doing<smile>.
I don't see a problem with what you are wanting.
Quoted message said:
besides which, i wouldn't impose on a doctor's valuable
time making her convert values (measurements and
abbreviations) and recompile them on another sheet, like a
database chart, just so i can look at them---which also
would take away from the fun of doing it myself.
Aren't you either directly or indirectly paying for your
doctor's time?
Quoted message said:why are you withholding information about how to define
simple abbreviations, if you know how, or know of a link
on how to do so, and asking questions instead?
I haven't unless you consider discussion an act of
withholding information.
