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 a bit worried because I've been having chest pain for the last two weeks. I just got my 2D echo report, and it says I have a mild prolapse of the anterior mitral leaflet. I'm not diabetic, I don't smoke, and I don't drink alcohol. Other than that, all the other results in the echo report seem to be normal. Should I be concerned about this? Could you please take a look at my reports and give me some advice?
Based on your description and the 2D echo report showing mild mitral valve regurgitation, I recommend starting treatment with a calcium channel blocker such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help with the chest pain and manage the mild regurgitation. Additionally, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to reduce the risk of any clot formation. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling really anxious because I experienced this sharp pain in my left chest that lasted for about 5-10 seconds. Along with that, there's this heaviness in my chest that's been bothering me. I just got my ECG results, and it mentioned an 800 sinus rhythm and a 401 short PR interval. Could you help me understand what these results might mean? Should I be worried about this?
While the sinus rhythm on your ECG is normal, the short PR interval requires further investigation to determine the underlying cause. The symptoms of chest pain and heaviness are concerning and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider right away. Please do not delay in seeking medical attention to ensure that any potential issues, including heart-related conditions, are addressed promptly.

My mom had an angioplasty about a month and a half ago and shes got a stent now. Just wondering, she started having this itchiness and rash on her calves last week which is a bit better now. Could this be some sort of reaction to the stent or maybe the meds? And if it is, is there anything we can do to help ease it?
