He also said my heart is pumping at 80+ percent, which he felt was wonderful for a 72 year old female. Has anyone else been told that they have a glob of something in front of the heart, but no one knows what it is? The cardiologist said it was there four years ago and had only gotten a little larger in four years and it did not seem to be pressing on the heart...still a little nerve racking.
