I'm looking at my mom's ECG and echo reports, and I'm kind of worried. The ECG mentions poor R wave progression from V1 to V3, and the echo report says she has grade 1 left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. I'm not sure what that means. The thing is, she doesn't have any heart issue symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Could you help me understand what these findings imply?

I'm having some issues with chest pain on my left side, and it's been going on for the last couple of months. The pain comes and goes and often extends from my upper chest to my left arm. I've also experienced some pulling in my left leg and occasional abdominal pain. I've had 5 ECG tests which were normal, and my echo showed an LVEF of 55. Today, we did a TMT. Could you help explain what all this means? Do you think I need any other tests?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. The pain in your upper chest that extends from your shoulder to your left arm, along with left hand pain and abdominal pain, could be related to this. The normal ECG results and an LVEF of 55% from the echo are positive findings. Since you have already undergone a TMT (Treadmill Test), it is good for assessing how your heart responds to exertion. If the TMT results are inconclusive or if your symptoms persist, you may consider getting a coronary angiography to visualize any blockages in the coronary arteries. This test can help determine if there is any significant blockage that may be causing your symptoms. In the meantime, it is important to manage your symptoms. You can take medications like Aspirin to help reduce the risk of blood clots, and medications like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels. Additionally, Nitroglycerin can help relieve chest pain during episodes of angina. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned because my blood pressure has shot up to 14492 since it got colder. I'm already on Ivabrad for my heart rate, but I've used Prolomet XL 12.5 in the past as a beta blocker for blood pressure. Can I start taking Prolomet XL 12.5 again while I'm on Ivabrad 5 mg?
Yes you can take it maintain salt restricted diet and follow your doctors advice
