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 this tender chest pain right in the middle of my chest, and it's getting me worried. I did an ECG, and everything seemed fine. My TMT test was negative too, which was a relief at first. But now, I'm sometimes feeling short of breath and there's a pain in my left hand. I even had a CT Coronary Angiography last year that showed normal results. What could be going on? Could you help me figure this out?

I'm really concerned because my ECG results came back as abnormal and it's showing PVC. Is this something I should be worried about? Would appreciate your insight on this.

PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). In most cases, PVCs are harmless and don't require treatment. However, if you are experiencing frequent PVCs or have underlying heart conditions, further evaluation may be needed. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help reduce PVCs if necessary. Dosage can vary depending on individual factors, so consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dose.
