    We are back from getting Willie's echo today. No murmur detected, and vet says everything looks normal!! Since we don't have a regular vet at the moment, he also gave us the full report he usually saves for the vet. Would appreciate any input from folks who know what to do with these things!

    Physical exam: HR regular at 180 bpm, no murmur detected, MM and CRT were wnl, pulses good, RR and RE were wnl...

    Echo:
    IVSd 0.4 cm
    LVIDd 1.7 cm
    LVPWd 0.4 cm
    LVDs 0.8cm
    %FS 53%
    Ao 1.0 cm
    LA: 1.4 cm
    LA:Ao 1.40
    AV Vmax: 1.0 m/s
    PV VMax: 0.9 m/s

    Comments: Mildly prominent LV papillary muscles, no DRVOTO or SAM present, high end normal LA. Pretty much a normal echo.

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
