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 allI'm really worried about my dad. He's got an artery blockage and has already had an angiography done. I'm stuck trying to figure out whether we should go for angioplasty or bypass surgery. He mentioned something about stents being used in angioplasty. Could you guide me on what's the best option here? Ive attached the report with all the details.
Both angioplasty with stenting and bypass surgery are effective treatments for artery blockages, but the best option depends on the specifics of your father's condition, including the location and severity of the blockages, his overall health, and any other medical issues. Angioplasty with stenting is less invasive and has a shorter recovery time, making it suitable for single or fewer blockages. Bypass surgery, though more invasive with a longer recovery period, might be recommended for multiple or complex blockages and can provide more durable results in certain cases. Consulting with your father's cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon will provide a comprehensive understanding of the best treatment approach tailored to his condition.

My mom recently had a TMT test, and it showed a mild positive for inducible ischemia. The thing is, she didnt feel any pain or discomfort during the test. The doctor suggested we should go for an angiogram, but she's planning to go abroad for six months. Is it okay if we wait and do the angio after she comes back? Should we be concerned about waiting that long?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the timing of the angiogram. However, in cases of mild positive inducible ischemia without symptoms, it may be possible to wait for 6 months before undergoing the angiogram. It is important to monitor your mother's symptoms and follow up with her doctor regularly during this time. If any new symptoms develop or if there are any changes in her health status, it is important to consult with her doctor earlier.
