I'm looking at my echocardiography report and I'm a bit worried. It says things like IVSTD 03 mm, LVPWD 07 mm, LVIDd 70 mm, FS 13, LVIDs 61 mm, and EF 28. I'm not sure what all of that means, but I'm concerned about whether these measurements are okay. Am I actually fit? Can you help me understand this?

Based on your echocardiography report, it indicates that you have a reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 28%, which is below the normal range (55-70%). This may indicate a decrease in the pumping function of your heart. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, you may be prescribed medications such as Carvedilol

View allMy dad had an angioplasty about six months ago, and now his ECG is showing mild left ventricular hypertrophy. I'm kind of worriedis this something serious? Should we be looking into any treatments for this?
Mild left ventricular hypertrophy can be a sign of an underlying heart condition, but it is not always serious on its own. Treatment may involve managing any underlying conditions such as high blood pressure or heart disease. Medications like Lisinopril (10mg daily) or Losartan (50mg daily) may be prescribed to help reduce the workload on the heart and manage blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm taking some meds for high blood pressure, like METOLAR XR and TELMA 20, and I have a TMT test for a pre-employment check-up coming up. I'm a bit worried because I really can't afford to fail this test. Do I need to stop taking these meds on the day of the test, or will they affect the results? Can you let me know what I should do?
You can continue taking METOLAR XR and TELMA 20 on the day of your TMT test. These medications are commonly used for high blood pressure and should not significantly affect the results of the test. It is important to follow your regular dosage schedule. Good luck with your pre-employment medical test!"
