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

I'm having this mild pain on the left side of my chest and left arm. It's a bit strange because my blood pressure and pulse rate are normal. It doesn't bother me when I'm walking, running, or even taking the stairs. The pain is mainly around the top left part of my chest and comes and goes, but is kind of always there. Should I be worried about this?

My mom was diagnosed with chest pain on December 7, 2018. She's in the hospital, and the doctor did an angiography and is suggesting a bypass. I'm really worried and just want to know if the bypass is absolutely necessary and how long we can safely delay it. She's had blood pressure for about 10 years and diabetes for the last 4 years. Could you please advise?

"Hi Nirav, based on the information provided, if your mother has been diagnosed with chest pain and the doctor has recommended bypass surgery after performing Angiography, it is likely that the bypass surgery is necessary to improve blood flow to the heart. Given her history of high blood pressure and diabetes, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendation in a timely manner to prevent any further complications. I would recommend discussing any concerns or questions about the timing of the bypass surgery with the treating physician to determine the best course of action. In the meantime, it is important for your mother to continue taking her prescribed medications for blood pressure and diabetes as directed. For chest pain relief, she can take medications like Aspirin and Nitroglycerin as prescribed by the doctor. It is important to follow the doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of these medications. Regular follow-up appointments with the doctor are also essential to monitor her condition and make any necessary adjustments to her treatment plan. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask. Take care."

My pulse seems to be at 97 beats per minute. Is that considered high or within the normal range? Could this be a sign of heart disease? I'm really anxious to know more.

A pulse rate of 97 beats per minute is slightly higher than the normal range, which is typically between 60-100 beats per minute for adults. It is not necessarily an indication of heart disease, but it could be a sign of various conditions such as anxiety, dehydration, fever, anemia, or thyroid issues. If you are experiencing other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otherwise, you can try to relax, stay hydrated, and monitor your pulse rate.
