Echocardio result Hello, My ejection fraction went up approximately 5 percent from have a 3 lead pacemaker replacing my 2 lead over 4 months. I was hoping for a better result, but I'm sure any improvement is beneficial. In the test reslult the doctor sent via this thing called mychart, he listed: Right Atrium: The interatrial septum is aneurysmal" Does anyone know how serious this is? The clinic I go to is booked out for weeks to months. SO, it will be at least 2 weeks before I can get in an hear what it all means.

I found before I couldn’t go up a flight of stairs without my o2 crashing. Now I can go up 3 flights with normal o2. I get winded if I overdo myself after lifting.

I will be suffering tomorrow when I fly. My o2 drops to 70 when I fly. I get a headache so I bring my portable o2 concentrator with. I think although I feel better since the ablation, my o2 levels is worst now when I fly. I got my 10 day holter results back today and my PVCs are less than 1%. My cardiologist today agrees it was a successful ablation because I had a 50% burden before my ablation. My VT is another story. I had 857 v-tach beats lasting each less than 3 seconds. It’s still less than 1% but I feel each one so I requested a holter. Great news is that I had zero afib episodes -that’s without taking arrhythmia drugs.

Before I could bring my o2 up to 90-94 with 2 liters of oxygen when I fly. Now it takes 3 liters…which means more batteries.

I have a pulse machine so i can’t fall asleep because I am a mouth breather and a pulse unit only works when I inhale through my nose. I’m afraid to tape my mouth.

A continuous flow would be ideal but I need 150% of the flight time worth of batteries on board. The current pulse 5 batteries are just too heavy to bring aboard along with my other stuff, i can’t imagine the weight of a continuous flow unit.

Anyone fly and use o2?]]> susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 17 Jun 2026 04:24:41 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,201545,201570#msg-201570 Re: Echocardio result https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,201545,201570#msg-201570 acantha AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 16 Jun 2026 15:40:15 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,201545,201568#msg-201568 Re: Echocardio result https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,201545,201568#msg-201568 acantha AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 16 Jun 2026 15:38:00 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,201545,201561#msg-201561 Re: Echocardio result https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,201545,201561#msg-201561

Hello,

My ejection fraction went up approximately 5 percent from have a 3 lead pacemaker replacing my 2 lead over 4 months.

I was hoping for a better result, but I'm sure any improvement is beneficial.

In the test reslult the doctor sent via this thing called mychart, he listed:

Right Atrium: The interatrial septum is aneurysmal"

Does anyone know how serious this is? The clinic I go to is booked out for weeks to months. SO, it will be at least 2 weeks before I can get in an hear what it all means.

Thanks

Please post any and all updates. I need to monitor my EF because there is a risk for HF after having an AV node ablation. My EF jumped from 39 to 50 after my last ablation in January … so don’t worry. I wish you well and that soon you will find more encouraging results]]> susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 15 Jun 2026 20:51:42 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,201545,201546#msg-201546 Re: Echocardio result https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,201545,201546#msg-201546 www.google.com]]]> GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:03:03 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,201545,201545#msg-201545 Echocardio result https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,201545,201545#msg-201545
