Does anyone understand what ' brain stem event post asystole episode' means also 'borderline left ventricular hyper trophy by voltage criteria' is please. Trying to understand medical notes , we are baffled by all the medical terms after hubby's cardiac episode and need clear answers, it's all confusing and scary right now.

The muscle wall of the Hearts left pumping chamber is borderline thickened, indicated by ECG changes.
I hope this is close to the mark

The heart has two ventricles-the left one is the strongest and his is slightly enlarged. This can be thinkening of the muscular wall (Myocardium) or a dilation of the chambers volume. This has been detected on an ECG-hence the 'Voltage criteria.'
Hope this helps?

Anyway-if your hubby is relatively well enough and also not in his mid to late 80's-a stent or bypass may help the blood supply to that part of his heart muscle which is now immotile.

There will be a test after this, take notes haha!
Seriously, your hubby is young at 51, I'm sure they'll do the very best for him, dont worry.

I read Biomedical Science at Portsmouth University, where i learnt most of my stuff. I dropped out-you cant pass when you're a drunk! I then was a student nurse for 2.5 years, and also worked as an aux nirse for 5 years, so i had a lot of experience from the wards. I dont drink anymore...
