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?

View allI've been having this weird pain and heaviness in my lower chest whenever Im alone, like when Im outside by myself or just at home. It starts after a while, and then I get this mild shortness of breath, and my pulse goes up to like 105. I had an X-ray, CT pulmonary angiogram, ECG, and 2D echo, but they all came back normal. Also, when I lie down, my feet feel really heavy. Any idea what's going on?

I'm really worried about my heart condition. The doctor mentioned that my left anterior descending artery type 3 vessel has a 70% blockage in the proximal region. The mid and distal parts of the LAD are normal, but there's an ostial plaque in D1, while D2 is normal. They've suggested angioplasty, and I'm unsure about what to do next. Could you give me some advice or explain this a bit more? I'm feeling anxious about the whole situation.
"Based on your condition of Left anterior descending artery type 3 vessel Proximal lad 70% present with Mid and distal lad normal and D1-ostial plaque, the recommended treatment is angioplasty. You can use antiplatelet medications such as Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily along with Aspirin 81mg once daily to prevent blood clots. Additionally, Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 40mg once daily can be used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further plaque buildup. Follow your doctor's advice for the dosage and duration of these medications."

I'm working out every day, but I've been having this pain in my left leg for more than 2 days now, and it's been followed by this pain right in the center of my chest. I'm really not sure who I should be seeing for this. Could you guide me on which type of doctor would be best to consult?
