Your cardiologist report is written in plain language, but you may encounter these clinical terms. Here is exactly what each one means.
Percentage of blood pumped out with each heartbeat. Normal: 55–70%. Below 40% indicates significant concern.
Narrowing of an artery, measured as a percentage. 50–69% is moderate; 70%+ is severe.
When a heart valve leaks blood backward. Graded mild, moderate, or severe.
Fatty deposits inside artery walls. Soft plaque carries higher risk than calcified plaque.
Deep vein thrombosis — a blood clot in the deep veins of the leg. Requires prompt treatment.
Backward blood flow in veins due to valve failure. A key marker of venous insufficiency.
Abnormal widening of an artery. Aortic diameter ≥3 cm meets aneurysm criteria.
No significant abnormality identified in that structure or measurement.
Your report will clearly state whether follow-up is needed and how urgently. We will never leave you without clear next steps.
No significant abnormalities. Share your report with your PCP. Consider repeat in 1–3 years based on your risk profile.
Minor findings warranting monitoring. Follow-up timing and lifestyle guidance included in your report.
Clinically significant findings to review with your physician. Urgency level specified in your report.
Prompt evaluation needed. We will contact you directly in addition to delivering your report.
Now that you know exactly what to expect — no referral, no insurance, no waiting. Results in 24–48 hours.
