Question 1

I'm looking at my ECG report which mentions I've got LVH and arrhythmia. I've been feeling quite tired whenever I climb stairs. Could you help me understand what this means?

Accepted Answer

Based on the information you provided, it seems like you have left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and arrhythmia as mentioned in your ECG report. These conditions can indeed cause symptoms such as fatigue, especially during physical exertion like climbing stairs. To manage these conditions, you may be prescribed medications such as Atenolol (50mg) for arrhythmia and Lisinopril (10mg) for LVH. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm dealing with some chest pain and recently found out my blood pressure's been high at 14090 for the past two weeks, plus I've got high cholesterol. My doctor prescribed Rosuvas 10mg for the cholesterol but didn't give me anything for the blood pre...

It is not advisable to take EMBETA XR 50 (Metoprolol) without consulting your doctor, especially since you have high blood pressure. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and heart rate. It is important to have your blood pressure monitored regularly while taking this medication. If your doctor did not prescribe a blood pressure medication initially, it is best to follow up with them to discuss the need for adding EMBETA XR 50 to your current treatment plan.

Question 3

I'm a bit confused about the difference between a 2D echo and a stress 2D echo. Can you explain how they're different and in what situations each one might be used? Also, I've heard about coronary angiography but I'm not quite clear on what it is and...

- 2D Echo (Echocardiogram): A non-invasive ultrasound test that captures images of the heart's structure and function at rest, helping diagnose conditions like valve problems or heart failure.
- Stress 2D Echo (Stress Echocardiogram): A test that combines

Question 4

So, my mom was diagnosed with 80% stenosis in the mid RCA and there's also a 50% instent restenosis in the distal RCA, where she had a stent put in back in 2010. We're a bit confused because one doctor is suggesting she should go through angioplasty ...

Accepted Answer

RCA STENOSIS 80% IN MID SEGMENT WILL INFLUENCE EFFECT OF DISTAL STENOSIS. ONCE U OPEN MID RCA LESION WITH BALOON AND DO ANGIOPLASTY THEN CHECK THE INSTENT RESTENOSIS LESION WITH FFR.
IF FFR IS MORE THAN O.8 THEN NOTHING FOR DISTAL AND IF FFR IS LESS THAN 0.8 ANGIOPLASTY TO INSTENT RESTENOSIS.

Question 5

Is it really possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even when the pulmonary artery looks normal and there's no turbulence? I'm just trying to wrap my head around how that can happen. Could there be underlying issues or does it indicate a diff...

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even with normal pulmonary artery anatomy and no turbulence. In such cases, the hypertension may be due to other underlying factors such as inflammation, vasoconstriction, or other vascular abnormalities. Treatment for pulmonary artery hypertension may include medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) or Tadalafil (Adcirca) to help relax the pulmonary arteries and improve blood flow. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Question 6

I'm really worried about this LAD thing showing up on my ECG. I don't have any symptoms, and my echo came back normal, so I'm confused about why it's happening. Should I be concerned about how this might impact my life span?

Accepted Answer

if your ECG shows LAD (Left Anterior Descending) without any symptoms and your echo is normal, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. LAD is a coronary artery that supplies blood to the front part of the heart. In some cases, an ECG may show variations that are not clinically significant. However, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. To ensure your heart health and longevity, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent clot formation in the arteries. Additionally, you can discuss with your doctor about starting a statin medication like atorvastatin (10-20mg) to control cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking are also important for maintaining a healthy heart. If you have any concerns or experience any symptoms in the future, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
