I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been told I'm obese, with a BMI of 33.4. I had an echocardiogram done about six months ago, and fortunately, everything looked normal. I'm really trying to keep an eye on my heart health, so I'm curioushow often should I be getting an echocardiogram to make sure everything stays okay?

View allMy mom has an artery blockage of 60-70% in just one artery. The doctor mentioned using a stent. Are there other treatments for her heart besides a stent?
For a 60-70% artery blockage, the placement of a stent is a common and effective treatment option. However, depending on the specific circumstances and location of the blockage, your mother's doctor may consider other alternatives such as medication therapy or coronary artery bypass surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendation for the most appropriate treatment plan.

I've been dealing with diabetes for the past 10 years and I've also got high cholesterol. I used to take Tonact TG, which really helped me a lot, but my doctor recently switched me to Ecosprin AV 75. My TMT came back positive, but all my other heart tests, including the CT coronary, were normal. I'm wondering if I can take Tonact TG and Ecosprin 75 separately instead of just using Ecosprin AV 75? I noticed that with Tonact TG, my LDL stays around 70 mgdL and it also boosts my HDL levels more than just taking atorvastatin. Can you help me figure this out?
NO take ecospirin av as it comes in combiantion with blood thinner and you gave arisk as your tmt came out positive,no need to worry ,follow your doctors advice
