Beefy, Lynne:
My medications are a beta blocker (coreg) and an ACE inhibitor (lisinopril). The BB has my resting HR (first thing in the morning) around 60 bpm and about 80 during the day. The BB and ACE inhibitor has my BP around normal (120/78). Aspirin, discontinued clopidogrel (plavix) after several months. Isosorbide to specifically target coronary arteries and dilate, digitek to aid heart contractions and a furosemide for fluid control (somewhat puzzled why, given my heart is functioning properly, and there is no retention of fluids)?!.
Originally M-Mode values were left ventricle diastolic 6.2cm and LV systole 5.2cm. Later M-mode values were 4.5cm and 4.0cm respectively.
I regularily exercise, diet is heart friendly, and I sleep very well (like a rock).
I believe my classification would not be class 3, more likely 2 based on what I have read.
