Question 1

I had an ECG done yesterday, and the report said there's a long left axis deviation. Can you explain what that means? I've attached the ECG for you to check.

Accepted Answer

Long left axis deviation on an ECG can indicate various underlying conditions such as heart enlargement, high blood pressure, or conduction abnormalities. It is important to correlate this finding with your symptoms and medical history. In some cases, further evaluation such as an echocardiogram may be needed. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for a detailed evaluation and appropriate management.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

A total cholesterol level of 230 is considered borderline high, which means you're at risk of developing heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a total cholesterol level below 200 milligrams per deciliter (mgdL).

Here are some conditions where you should take care:

Liver-Related Conditions

- Fatty Liver Disease: Excess fat accumulation in liver cells can disrupt liver function and increase cholesterol levels.
- Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH): A more severe form of fatty liver disease characterized by inflammation and scarring.
- Cirrhosis: Late-stage liver disease where liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, affecting cholesterol metabolism [1).

Lifestyle Changes

To manage your cholesterol levels:

- Exercise Regularly: Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly.
- Follow a Healthy Diet: Focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources.
- Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol [1).
