It has now been 16 days since my last cardiologist visit and I am waiting on the blood test results a bit anxiously. The number I am waiting for in particular in the BNP number, which is a measurement of the amount of stress the heart is in and a key indicator as to whether the researcher in Germany will take me into his trials for adult bone marrow stem cell treatments.
This phenomenon of my heart function dropping so quickly for no known cause is admittedly disconcerting.
I think this anxiousness is typical of any patient awaiting results, and for me it is not a stressful as some other test results, but it is still important to me.
