Hi @A myPHteam Member what you could do is take a photo of your result, but cut your name and personal details, so its just an echo with nothing identifiable. Then go to chatgpt - in account, set it to "do not want to share my data to help build" then share the photo and ask to explain. Its AI and with that setting your data will not be shared. You can ask the AI anything, why your doctor think it is normal, is anything abnormal, is your doctor right? Why or why not? Or what specific things mean or what values would indicate PH... You can learn a lot from AI without having to worry about sharing your details. I have a paid account $20 per month that is a little more secure. If it was not for AI, I never would have been diagnosed or treated for APS. I put the results in the AI, asked it what it means and it said I have APS. I went to the doctor she said "you do not have APS" Went home and asked the AI again, Ai said doctor is wrong, I asked why it showed me the reason. I saw another doctor, he said "you do not have APS" he did not give me chance to say anything (was a student) and when the doctor came in I asked her, do I have APS and she said "No" so I asked her, what about the last section - what does it mean?? She said "Holy Cow, you have APS" She phoned the lab to confirm, lab confirmed it... Just saying AI helped me out a few times, you still have to confirm with a doctor, but you will know what questions to ask your doctor. In my case 3 doctors missed it and my PCP likely would have missed it too, if she did not stop to listen to my question. The result was weird, lab with no flag, just "Positive for Lupus Anticoagulant " in grey in a subsection, anyone glancing over it would have thought it was negative, but the AI caught it. Good luck!!

I'm not familiar with it but here's a copy and paste for you:

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is a type of fat that surrounds blood vessels and plays a role in vascular health. PVAT can be a factor in cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis, hypertension, and heart failure.
Function

Anti-atherogenic
Under normal conditions, PVAT secretes factors that help prevent atherosclerosis.

Pro-inflammatory
When dysfunctional, PVAT releases substances that promote inflammation and atherosclerosis.

Factors affecting PVAT

Obesity: PVAT becomes dysfunctional in people who are obese.
Gender: In postmenopausal women, PVAT increases.
Anatomical location: PVAT in different parts of the body has different characteristics.

PVAT and atherosclerosis

PVAT is close to the vascular wall, which may contribute to atherosclerosis.

PVAT releases adipokines, cytokines, and chemokines that can cause inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.
PVAT may also contribute to vascular remodeling.

Therapeutic potential
PVAT may be a target for new treatments for cardiovascular diseases

I think that's a pretty great summary line at the end!

There will be a line indicating your systolic pressure. A number between 20 and 25 is considered normal. Between 30 and 35 means “watch and wait”. Over 40 usually means you need to get a Right Heart Catheterization to get a more accurate verdict.

I had never heard of the PVAT numbers have you?
