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 allI've been having these sudden chills or a cold feeling in my chest while I'm asleep, and it's been happening on and off, like a couple of times a week for the last few months. I already saw a cardiologist and did some tests to make sure it's not heart disease because I'm a 35-year-old guy who was recently told I have hypertension. Can someone help me figure out what might be causing this?
it might be due to stress. start doing exercises, avoid stress

I'm trying to help my uncle who has angina and usually takes nicorandil, but he's now in the US. We're a bit worried about finding the right alternative medication here. Could you suggest what might work best for him in the States?
In the USA, a suitable alternative medication for angina that works similarly to nicorandil is Isosorbide Mononitrate. The recommended dosage for Isosorbide Mononitrate for angina is usually starting at 10 mg once daily, and can be increased to 20 mg once daily if needed. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage and frequency for your uncle's specific condition.

I'm a bit concerned about some ECG results from my recent TMT test. The report came back normal, no signs of ischemia or arrhythmias, but I noticed some changes in the T wave on one of the pages. I brought it up with the cardiologist, and he dismissed it as non-specific. Still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling. I attached a resting ECG I took two hours after the TMT. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything to worry about?
Nothing to worry it is normal, t wave presence is normal since the tmt test is also negative for ischaemia and arrytmia.Repeat ecg is advised after 2 weeks...
