I'm 20 and recently had two echocardiograms, one showing RVSP at 37 mmHg and the other at 29 mmHg. Both mentioned normal pulmonary artery and veins, and there's MVP with mild eccentric regurgitation. I'm worried about the possibility of pulmonary artery hypertension and whether it could be idiopathic. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a bit concerned about my resting heart rate; it's at 48. Is this normal, or could it indicate something potentially not good? Should I actually make an appointment with a doctor to get it checked out?

My father is 62 and needs a valve replacement but we're worried about open heart surgery. I heard about TAVR or TAVI as an alternative. Can you suggest hospitals in Mumbai that perform this procedure?

Several hospitals in Mumbai offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, as an alternative to open-heart surgery for valve replacement. Some of these hospitals include Hiranandani Hospital and Apollo Hospitals. It's important to consult with a cardiologist to determine if TAVR is the right choice for your father, considering his age, overall health, and the specific type of valve disease.
