I'm a bit worried after seeing the results of my 2D ECHO. It mentions "diastolic dysfunction present EA," and I'm not quite sure what that means. Could you explain it to me?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Diastolic dysfunction means that the heart is not able to relax and fill properly during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. This can lead to problems with the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently. In this case, you may be prescribed medications like ACE inhibitors (e.g. Enalapril) or beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) to help improve heart function. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and needs.

View allMy dad had an angioplasty about six months ago, and now his ECG is showing mild left ventricular hypertrophy. I'm kind of worriedis this something serious? Should we be looking into any treatments for this?
Mild left ventricular hypertrophy can be a sign of an underlying heart condition, but it is not always serious on its own. Treatment may involve managing any underlying conditions such as high blood pressure or heart disease. Medications like Lisinopril (10mg daily) or Losartan (50mg daily) may be prescribed to help reduce the workload on the heart and manage blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad's blood pressure. It's just not going down, even though he's taking Olmesar H 40 in the morning and Prolomate XL 50 at night. I came across something called Metocard AM and was wondering if it might be better for him than Prolomate XL 50. Also, do you think Prolomate XL 50 could lead to other health issues?
Metocard AM is a combination medication containing Metoprolol and Amlodipine, which can be effective in managing high blood pressure. In comparison to Prolomate XL 50, Metocard AM may be a better option for some individuals, but it ultimately depends on your dad's specific health condition and response to the medications. Prolomate XL 50 (Metoprolol) is generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, it can have side effects. While it is unlikely to cause "disease problems," common side effects of Metoprolol can include tiredness, dizziness, and slow heart rate. It is important to monitor for any unusual symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider if any concerns arise. It is recommended to discuss with your dad's healthcare provider or a pharmacist about the potential benefits and risks of switching to Metocard AM and to ensure the most appropriate treatment for his blood pressure management.
