Medications: Doctors may prescribe antihypertensive drugs to help keep blood pressure within a safe range.

Regular Monitoring: Keeping track of blood pressure readings helps adjust treatment as needed.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?
2D ECHO report normal--Normal LVRV Systolic function,no pericardial effusion, no IVC plethora,ascending aort dilated,mild mitral valve prolapse , no mitral regurgitation, normal LV function,,, tmt normal report---thread mill sress test--Less than 5 METS is poor, 5-8 METS is fair ,,9-11 METS is good,, 12 METS is excellent .

I'm really worried about my 62-year-old diabetic relative. He's had angina for over a year, and his ECG showed some troubling signs like a Q wave with T wave inversion. The echocardiogram was apparently normal, but the treadmill test came back positive, and the coronary angiogram revealed triple vessel coronary artery disease. He's stable now, thankfully, but they recommended PCI for the LCx and RCA. I'm just wondering what all this really means and where would be the best place for him to get this treatment? I'm feeling a bit lost here.
If he is having triple vessel disease,he needs to u dergo Bypass surgery if not there is higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest, visit Cardiologist and follow their advice
