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.

View allMy INR levels have been all over the place latelyone month it's at 2.5, and then the next it's down to 1.5. My doctor keeps changing my medication dose, and honestly, I'm getting worried. If this continues, could it cause problems with my mechanical valve in the aortic position? I do an echo each year, but I'm still concerned. Can you explain how this might affect me?
Fluctuating INR levels can indeed be concerning, especially for patients with a mechanical heart valve. It is important to maintain a stable INR to prevent complications such as blood clots or bleeding. To help stabilize your INR levels, your doctor may consider prescribing a medication like Warfarin. It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage adjustments based on your INR levels. If your INR continues to fluctuate, it can increase the risk of blood clots forming on your mechanical heart valve. This can potentially lead to serious complications such as valve malfunction or stroke. Regular echocardiograms are essential for monitoring the function of your mechanical valve and detecting any issues early. To help stabilize your INR and protect your mechanical heart valve, it is important to adhere to your prescribed medication regimen and attend regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider.

I'm traveling right now, and I'm a bit worried because my pulse rate is over 90. I've already taken Kipnor TR 40 and Etilaam 0.25. Is this normal for when you're active, or should I be concerned?
The normal pulse rate when you are active can vary depending on individual factors, but typically ranges from 100 to 170 beats per minute. Kipno tr 40 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. Etilaam 0.25 is a brand name for Etizolam, which is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders. Since your pulse rate is above 90 after taking these medications, it is important to monitor your heart rate closely. If your pulse rate remains elevated or if you experience any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
