[Libre-soc-dev] cardiac MRI

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

consistent with the cyanosis at 2 weeks after birth
requiring 4 weeks life support, the radiology report
from the Cardiac MRI shows damaged heart valves,
reduced capability (45% ejection fraction) to pump
blood, abnormal movement of the wall between
ventricles (septal dyskinesis), global hypokinesia
and more.

    Global hypokinesia means the heart's main
    pumping chamber (left ventricle) contracts
    weakly and generally, leading to reduced
    pumping power (low ejection fraction) and
    symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue,
    and swelling, often seen with severe heart failure,
    coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathy,
    diagnosed via echocardiogram.

as my father was an alcoholic and my brother died
of pneumonia after being born with one lung and
a hole in the heart, given the cyanosis at birth there
is likely a genetic disorder aggravated by the
alcoholism.

"hole in the heart" is technically "Ventricular Septal
Defect" however when combined with 3 other
common conditions is called "Tetrology of Fallot".
I do not know if my brother who died at 15 weeks
had only VSD or if he had ToF.

additionally there is a genetic variation in the blood
supply to my heart, incorrectly named "bovine arch"

this gives a predisposition to a number of
pathologies which I need to investigate.
