What does "Abnormal LV relaxation" mean. This one one of the findings on a Echo cardiogram that I did recently, and My dr appointment is only for February. I am more curious than worried, as everything else is ok.
Thanks.
It means that the left ventricle muscles of the heart are not relaxing in a typical manner. This can be caused by many things, and is usually just an indicator that there are potentially other problems, and not an indicator of a specific problem. It's often associated with hypertension.
