I'm a bit worried after getting some tests done. I had an ECG yesterday due to some mild chest pain, and it showed abnormal inferolateral ischemia. Then I went through a TMT, and it came out borderline positive for inducible myocardial ischemia at 10.1 Mts. Can you help me understand what all of this means? Is it something I need to be really concerned about?

Based on the findings of infrolateral ischemia on the ECG and borderline positive result on the TMT for myocardial ischemia, I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further heart issues. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with CAD and recently found out from my CT Angio test that there's a 60-70% blockage in my LDA artery. I've been reading up on EECP and Bio Chemical Angioplasty online, and I've talked to some folks who've undergone EECP. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually effective. Also, do you know what medication is used in Bio Chemical Angioplasty? And once I've gone through it, how long can I expect the blockage to stay away?

Yes that procedure is good you can get it done if adviced no problem, recurrence would be on your lifestyle and diet pattern,maintain healthy lifestyle to avoid recurrence

I wanted to get some clarity on my ECG results. I'm a bit concerned about terms like "sinus rhythm," "short PR interval," and "slight STT abnormality." The data mentions stuff like P duration, PR interval, and QRS durationwhat do these mean for my heart health? And should I be worried about the diagnosis info or the numbers related to things like the PQRST axis? I'd appreciate any guidance on whether my report is looking good or if there are things I need to watch out for.

Based on your ECG report, your heart rate is 97bpm which is within normal range. The P duration, PR interval, and QRS duration are all within normal limits. The QT interval is slightly prolonged, but the corrected QT interval (QTc) is within normal range. The PQRST axis values are also within normal range. The RV5SV1 and RV6SV2 amplitudes are within normal limits as well. The diagnosis information indicates sinus rhythm, a short PR interval, and slight ST-T abnormality in leads II and aVF. Sinus rhythm is a normal heart rhythm, a short PR interval can be benign in some cases, and slight ST-T abnormalities may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. Overall, based on the information provided in your ECG report, it does not appear to be a concerning report for your heart. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation of the results.

I've been experiencing a pricking pain on the top left side of my chest and some slight breathing difficulties, especially when I talk. Plus, I've noticed an extra heartbeat occasionally. My GP suggested an ECG, and I'm wondering if there's anything serious going on here. About three months ago, I had a similar issue but my tests like an echo came back normal. Should I be concerned or take any further action?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and some chest discomfort. Since your ECG, VOLT, and echo results are normal, it is good news that there are no major underlying issues. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) 400mg as needed for any chest discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your GP for further evaluation and management.
