Check echocardiography of my mother
My mother is having symptoms of edema in feet and hands since 7-8 months so we did ecg,echo,kft,lft,cbc
Kft,lft,cbc is normal even protein and albumin is normal
Ecg sometimes says t wave non specific abnormality and sometimes everything normal
Main reason to worry is edema around toes of feet and lateral side of ankles in both feet and fingers of hands
Are details sufficient in this echo to rule out heart failure or certain parameters are missing like E/e' and all ?
Pls Tell which parameters should be taken we will get them now in new echocardiography.
Is HFpef still possible with this ??

Echo reports seem normal. Does your Mother have any other problem like breathlessness on exertion? Is she hypertensive or diabetic?
Edema could be due to hormones around menopause, could be side effect of some antihypertensive meds, could be due to hypothyroidism.
Consult with details.

With ejection fraction above 66 and normal diastolic function, HFpEF is unlikely . However if you are concerned about HF do BNP levels and stress echocardiogram.There could be other reasons to develop pedal edema.

Heart failure though common, is not the only cause of peripheral edema.
Please provide more details like her co- morbidities, her regular medication.
Does she have symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations.
Was urine protein quantification done?
What about her thyroid status?
Can you share her blood reports and ECG?
Her Echo report looks normal.
Chance of HFpEf is minimal when there are no comorbidities. If you are worried that she might be having heart failure you can get an NT pro BNP done.
This test has some value in detecting heart failure.
