Hello, Debbie! How are you?

Did your doctor not explain anything?

To keep it simple, luminal irregularities refers to changes due to atherosclerotic plaque, the word minimal refers to how much there is, in this case, they didn't see a significant amount, but there is some, so lifestyle and dietary changes may be needed to prevent future worsening.

The LV mild Global hypokinesis EF 50% elevated lvedp refers to the injection fraction of your left ventricle. Generally a rate of 50% or lower means that your heart pumping as good as it should be.

Ref: MyHeartNet Heart Function

Have you had any cardiac issues? Do you frequently become short of breath?

Ultimately, only your doctor can interpret these results, because other factors also come into play, and I can only explain a bit of the technical terms based on what you've posted.
