Question 2

I'm really worried about someone who recovered from COVID three weeks ago but is still dealing with a persistent cough and some chest congestion. What concerns me more is that just yesterday, their heart rate shot up to 117, and even though it's come down to around 95 after taking one Evapump tab, I'm unsure if it's safe to use this medication whenever their pulse rate spikes. They tested negative for COVID twice with RT PCR recently. About two weeks ago, there was another incident where their pulse rate went all the way up to 157, with a blood pressure reading of 131 over 82. Can you let me know if these fluctuations are something to be concerned about and if this medication is the right way to manage it?

Question 3

I'm trying to understand the difference between the results of my echo and my CT scan regarding my heart condition. My echo shows mild concentric LVH with lvpwdd 12.2 and ivs d 12, and my LVEF is at 73. But my CT scan, which was a 128-slice MDCT of the heart, suggests normal LVH and a normal LV cavity with normal thickness, having a zero calcium score. Also, my TMT came out negative for any chest pain-related issues. I'm kind of confused here. Which result should I rely on when it comes to the left ventricular hypertrophy? Which is considered more accurate or should I be concerned about something else here?

Accepted Answer

Both CT angiography and echocardiogram are valuable tools for assessing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), but they provide different types of information. In your case, since the CT angiography showed normal left ventricular cavity with normal thickness and normal coronary arteries, and zero calcium score, it indicates a healthy heart without any structural abnormalities or blockages. On the other hand, the echocardiogram reported mild concentric LVH with specific measurements of left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWd) and interventricular septum thickness (IVSd). Given the discrepancy between the two imaging modalities, it is important to consider the clinical context and overall picture. In this scenario, the findings from the CT angiography showing a normal heart structure and function, along with a negative TMT (treadmill test), are more indicative of a healthy heart. Therefore, the CT angiography results are more reliable in this case. To address the chest pain related problem, you can consider taking medications like Amlodipine (5mg) for blood pressure control and Metoprolol (25mg) for heart rate control. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be used for chest pain relief as needed. It is also important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
