I'm feeling some discomfort in a few spots on both sides of my chest. My HDL cholesterol is low, and I recently had a mildly positive TMT test. What do you think could be going on, and is there anything I should do?

View allI'm really concerned about something and wanted to get your advice. I'm 61 and just had some tests done. They said my LV function is normal with an EF of 60 and no RWMA, but I have trivial MR and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction with concentric LVH. The valves check out fine and there are no clots, vegetation, or pericardial effusion. My chamber dimensions are normal too. But when I did a stress TMT, it showed some significant ST changes in leads II, III, AVf, V4, V6, although I had no arrhythmia or chest pain, and my heart rate and blood pressure responded normally. Should I be worried about these ST changes? What does this all mean for my heart health?
Based on the information provided, it seems like the patient may be experiencing some significant ST changes in specific ECG leads without chest pain. In this case, the patient may benefit from medication to help manage their condition. The patient can be prescribed **Aspirin** 75mg daily to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Additionally, **Atorvastatin** 20mg can be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further cardiac issues. In addition to these medications, **Metoprolol** 25mg can be prescribed to help manage the patient's blood pressure and heart rate, especially in the presence of significant ST changes on ECG. It is important for the patient to follow up with their healthcare provider regularly to monitor their condition and adjust their treatment plan as needed.

I'm really worried because my friend's ECG came back as borderline abnormal. Can you explain what that means? Is it something we should be really concerned about? The ECG mentioned things like a negative T wave and I'm not sure what all the numbers mean... like HR is 93min and the axis is 62 degrees. I'm kind of puzzled by how serious this is. What should we do next?
negative t wave could be due to hypertension, ischsemic heart diseases and electrolye imbalance conditions .And echo is advised , post that a cardiologist opinion i indicated.Salt restricted diet , dash diet and regular aerobic exercises is advised

I've been dealing with sinus bradycardia for about 56 months now, and my heart rate is usually around 55 bpm. My doctor suggested I take Orcibest 10mg for it. I'm really wondering if that's actually going to help me. Do you think it's the right medication for my situation?
yes continue same treatment.
