Heart Test Concerns Before Transplant?
AI-generated title
Upon doing testing for an autologous stem cell transplant, my Echo heart test showed that the "left atrium is at the upper limits of normal in size" and there is a "mild regurgitation of the mitral valve." (EKG showed normal results.)
Has anyone had this on a test result? I was shocked because I have never had any heart issues at all that I was aware of.
I am wondering if this will disqualify me from a transplant. And if it does, I wondered if I could still do the harvest for later.
I'm 55 YO female. Standard risk. IGG/ Lambda light chain.
My M-spike is zero. My IGG and Light chains are on the low side.
Just had BM biopsy this week with no results back yet.
But after 4 rounds of quad therapy (Rvmd/Darzalex/Velcade/Dex) I have responded quickly and well.
I never expected any issues with heart.
Don't see dr until next week so I just wondered if anyone else had this issue.
I only know about the test results because they were posted on an app where I can see test results.
Thanks
