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 taking Eliquis 5mg twice daily since I had a pulmonary thrombosis embolism a while back. I'm doing well now, but my doctor advised me to stay on it for life. I'm really curious about what the long-term side effects could be with this medication because I'd want to adjust my diet and lifestyle accordingly. Can you share some insights?
Eliquis (Apixaban) is a commonly prescribed anticoagulant used for preventing blood clots. Some potential side effects of Eliquis in the long run may include an increased risk of bleeding, such as nosebleeds, bruising, or prolonged bleeding from cuts. It is important to be cautious when participating in activities that may increase the risk of injury. Additionally, some individuals may experience gastrointestinal issues like stomach pain or indigestion. To minimize the risk of side effects while taking Eliquis, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, and staying hydrated. It is also important to inform any healthcare providers about your Eliquis use before undergoing any medical procedures or surgeries to prevent excessive bleeding.
