Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction can be managed and sometimes improved with lifestyle changes and medications. Some ways to help reverse left ventricular diastolic dysfunction include: - ACE inhibitors like Enalapril (5-20 mg once daily) - ARBs like Losartan (25-100 mg once daily) - Beta blockers like Metoprolol (25-100 mg once daily) - Calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine (5-10 mg once daily) - Diuretics like Furosemide (20-80 mg once daily) It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

I'm a 31-year-old guy and have been experiencing chest pain since September 2017. All my tests like ECG, echocardiography, lipid profile, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram have come back normal. I also get pain in my hand and jaw, along with dizziness every day. My cardiologists told me it's anxiety disorder, but I'm still worried because the pain is persistent. The doctor has prescribed flavedon MR 35 to take twice a day and said to continue for a month. Should I expect to stop the medication after one month if the symptoms persist, or is this something I might need long-term? I'm just trying to figure out if this plan seems right given my symptoms.

Yes you can use it no problem and as your doctor said you might be having Anxiety disorder,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management

I'm really concerned because my father just went through a TMT test and his score was 3.52 Mets. The doctor didnt recommend an angiography, but I'm not sure if we should still consider getting one. Could you help me understand what this means and whether we need to take further action?

A Mits value of 3.52 indicates a moderate risk of coronary artery disease. Since the doctor has not suggested angiography, it is likely that the risk is not high enough to warrant further invasive testing at this point. However, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and continue with regular check-ups to monitor any changes in the condition. In the meantime, medications such as Atorvastatin 20mg and Aspirin 75mg may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease.
