Question 1

Can you help me understand these heart-related numbers? Im seeing terms like "left atrium 3.9cm", "aorta 3.5cm", and "EF 60". It mentions things like mild MR, trivial TR, and concentric LVH too. I'm curious if these results are normal or if there's anything to worry about, especially with LV diastolic dysfunction and no pericardial effusion mentioned. Could you explain them for me?

Based on the information provided, you have Concentric LVH, Mild MR, Trivial TR, Good LV Systolic function, Gr II LV diastolic dysfunction, and no clotpericardial effusion. It is important to continue monitoring your condition regularly with your healthcare provider to manage your heart health effectively.

Question 3

I recently bought an oximeter and noticed something that puzzled me. When I checked my levels while resting, it showed 95 bpm, 99 SpO2, and 7 PI. But after a little exercise, it went up to 130 bpm, 99 SpO2, and the PI dropped to 2. Ive experienced pa...

The Perfusion Index (PI) is a measure of the strength of your pulse and the blood flow to your finger. A low PI% can indicate poor circulation or weak pulse strength. In your case, the decrease in PI% after exercising may be due to increased heart rate and blood flow redistribution to other parts of the body, leading to a weaker pulse signal at the oximeter sensor. This is common during physical activity when the body prioritizes blood flow to muscles and organs. To address this concern, you can try to ensure a good sensor placement on your finger, stay well-hydrated, and avoid excessive movement during oximetry readings. If you continue to have concerns about your PI% readings, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance

Question 5

I'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG results. It mentioned something like 800 sinus rhythm, and I'm not really sure what that means. Also, my blood pressure showed up as 13084. Is this considered normal?

Accepted Answer

800 sinus rhythm means that the heart is beating at a normal rate and rhythm, typically between 60-100 beats per minute. A heart rate of 800 would be abnormally high and would be a cause for concern. As for the ECG being normal, without seeing the actual ECG tracing, I cannot provide a definitive answer. However, sinus rhythm is considered normal on an ECG. Regarding your blood pressure of 13084, this is considered prehypertension. If you have no other medical conditions and are not experiencing any symptoms, it may not require immediate treatment. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management. If you are experiencing any symptoms or have concerns about your ECG or blood pressure, it is best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

I've been a smoker and drank alcohol almost every day for the past decade, dealing with high cholesterol and triglycerides all this time. I just started medication for these issues. Recently, I had a 2D echo and TMT that both came back normal. Can I ...

Accepted Answer

Based on your recent normal 2D echo and TMT results, it is a positive indication that there may not be significant coronary artery disease present. However, it is important to continue monitoring your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle without smoking and alcohol consumption. Additionally, regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to ensure your cardiovascular health remains optimal.
