I'm a bit confused about my recent test results. My echo test came back normal, but my ECG report is considered borderline. Could you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned or take any specific actions?

A borderline ECG report means that there may be some minor abnormalities or variations in the electrical activity of your heart, but they are not significant enough to definitively diagnose a specific condition. In this case, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring. Depending on your specific symptoms and medical history, your doctor may recommend further tests or medications. In the meantime, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet.

I'm really worried about my heart health. I've been told I have mild plaque in my LAD and right artery and was diagnosed with insignificant CAD. How much plaque build-up actually needs medication? I'm trying to understand when it becomes a serious issue. Can you help clarify this for me?
In cases of insignificant coronary artery disease (CAD) with mild plaque in the LAD and right artery, medication may still be recommended to manage risk factors and prevent progression of the disease. Common medications that may be prescribed include: 1. Statins (e.g. Atorvastatin) - to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of plaque buildup. Dosage: Typically starting dose of Atorvastatin is 10-20 mg once daily. 2. Antiplatelet agents (e.g. Aspirin) - to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. Dosage: Aspirin is often prescribed at a low dose of 75-100 mg once daily. 3. Beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) - to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. Dosage: Metoprolol is commonly started at a dose of 25-50 mg once or twice daily. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments for monitoring and adjustment of medications as needed.
