I'm a bit concerned about the results from my recent cardiac reports. Everything came back normal except the echocardiography, which indicated a mild mitral prolapse. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Mild mitral valve prolapse is usually not a cause for concern and often does not require treatment. It is important to follow up with your doctor for regular check-ups to monitor your heart health. If you experience symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath, you should consult your doctor. No specific medication is required for mild mitral valve prolapse.

I'm really worried because my father has an LVEF of 35% as per his 2D echo report. I'm trying to figure out what kind of treatment he might need. Should we be considering an angiography? He hasn't had a heart attack and doesn't feel any chest pain. I did some reading and think maybe it's arrhythmia because about three years ago, he nearly fainted while cycling due to stress. Since then, he's been on medication for hypertension. Could you tell me what steps we should take next?
Since the patients LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) is 35.. indicates that he is having severe heart damage .. Some of the causes uncontrolled hypertension , heart muscle diseasesex cardiomyopathy, heart attack and heart valve issues..Angiography is needed since echo report reveals severe heart dysfunction.Treatment invoves ACE inhibitors ,calcium channel blockers and beta blockers..
