Question 1

I'm a bit worried about my dad's recent test results. The doctor recommended a 2D echo and a treadmill test for him. The 2D echo came back normal, but the treadmill test showed a positive stress result. I've heard that only 4 out of 10 times, these TMT tests are accurate, which is kinda freaking me out. If one test is normal and the other one isn't, does that mean there's something to be concerned about? Could you shed some light on this?

Question 2

I'm a bit concerned about my recent stress test result which showed mildly positive for provcable myocardial ischaemia. I'm not fully sure what this means and I'm worried about what it might mean for my heart health. Could you help me understand this...

Accepted Answer

Stress test showing "Mildly Positive for Provicable Myocardial Ischaemia" indicates a potential issue with blood flow to the heart during physical activity. To address this, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management. Additionally, medication therapy may be necessary. You can consider starting with a low-dose aspirin regimen for blood thinning and a statin medication like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm trying to figure out if there's a connection between height and the size of the ascending aorta. Like, for someone who's 6 feet tall and weighs 74 kg, what would be considered a normal size for the ascending aorta? Is there a direct link between ...

Accepted Answer

For a 6 ft person weighing 74kg, the normal ascending aorta size is typically around 2.1 to 3.7 cm in diameter. There is a weak positive correlation between height and ascending aorta diameter, meaning that taller individuals may have slightly larger ascending aortas. However, this correlation is not strong enough to be used as a reliable predictor of aorta size.

Question 6

I've noticed that my heart rate has been at 120 for the past three hours. I feel okay overall, just dealing with a minor cold. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

Accepted Answer

A heart rate of 120+ beats per minute can be elevated due to various reasons, including stress, anxiety, fever, dehydration, or certain medications. Since you mentioned having a minor cold, it is possible that your elevated heart rate is a response to the infection. To help lower your heart rate, you can try taking over-the-counter medication like **Acetaminophen** for fever and discomfort associated with the cold. Additionally, ensure you stay well-hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation.
