I'm a bit worried about my recent 2D echo results. It mentions incomplete RBBB and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. Everything else seems normal, like the cardiac chamber dimensions and valve functions, with no wall motion abnormalities and a good LVEF of 60. Should I be concerned about these findings, and what do they mean for my heart health? Is there anything specific I need to look out for or any lifestyle changes I should consider?

Based on the findings from your 2D echo, you have incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) and Grade 1 left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. The report indicates that your cardiac chamber dimensions are normal, with no wall motion abnormalities present at rest. Your LV systolic function is good, with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 60%. However, there is evidence of Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. The cardiac valves, including the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves, are all normal. Additionally, there are no issues with the septae (IASIVS), clotvegetation, or pericardial effusion. The great arteries (aortapulmonary artery) are also normal. Based on these findings, no specific medication is typically prescribed for incomplete RBBB or Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. However, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health regularly with follow-up appointments and lifestyle modifications as recommended by your healthcare provider.

I've recently found out that my total cholesterol is 240, and my LDL cholesterol is 189. Should I be worried about these levels? Is it necessary for me to start taking medication to lower them, or can I manage it through other means? I'm aware these numbers are higher than normal, but I'm not sure I can stick to a strict diet. What do you recommend?

With a total cholesterol of 240 and LDL cholesterol of 189, it is considered high and can increase your risk for heart disease. In this case, medication may be necessary to help lower your cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments as needed.
