I'm looking at my 2D echo report and I'm a bit worried about my heart health. It says my mean PAP is 23.18 and PASP is 38mm Hg. There's also something about a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity of 2.6, and it's noted as mild tricuspid regurgitation. The report mentions my ejection fraction is 60 and that I have good systolic function, with no diastolic dysfunction. I'm just wondering if there's a risk of pulmonary hypertension with these numbers?

Based on your 2D echo report, with a mean PAP of 23.18 and PASP of 38mm Hg, along with a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity of 2.6 and mild tricuspid regurgitation, it indicates that there is a possibility of pulmonary hypertension. However, further evaluation and monitoring by a healthcare professional are recommended to determine the severity and appropriate treatment.

View allI'm feeling really worried because I've been having this sharp, burning chest pain for about a week now. It seems to get a bit better when I change positions or drink water, but it's really bothering me. The pain is right where my heart is. Do you think this could be something serious, or is it something I can manage on my own? What might be causing this?

I'm really worried about the results from my ECG which said something about provocable myocardial ischemia, but I haven't had any cardiac symptoms of IHD. I'm only 48 years old and I'm not sure what this means for my heart health. Should I be concerned or do anything specific to address this?
It sounds like you have a positive exercise tolerance test (ITT) for provocable myocardial ischemia without any cardiac symptoms for ischemic heart disease (IHD) at the age of 48. In this case, you may benefit from starting a medication like Atenolol (50-100mg daily) to help reduce the workload on your heart and prevent further episodes of ischemia. Additionally, adding a medication like Aspirin (75-150mg daily) can help reduce the risk of blood clot formation in your coronary arteries. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I recently got an ECG done that showed IRBBB, and after that, I had an echocardiogram and TMT, which both turned out normal. Should I be doing these tests every year? And do you know why the IRBBB showed up in my ECG? Is there any treatment I should consider for this?
Intermittent Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) is a common finding in electrocardiograms and is usually considered a benign condition, especially if other cardiac tests such as echocardiogram (echo) and exercise stress test (TMT) are normal. It is not typically associated with any symptoms or specific treatment. In your case, since your echo and TMT results were normal, there may not be a need to repeat these tests every year unless your doctor specifically recommends it based on your overall health condition. IRBBB can sometimes be a normal variant or can be associated with underlying heart conditions, so it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. If you do not have any symptoms and your other cardiac tests are normal, no specific treatment may be necessary for IRBBB. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, balanced diet, and avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to promote overall heart health.
