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 recently had an ECG because I've been experiencing some mild chest pain. My doctor said it was gastric pain, but the ECG report showed a borderline sinus rhythm and some non-specific T wave abnormalities. Could you help me understand what this might mean? Should I be worried about these results? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really helpful.

I'm trying to understand my echo report, which mentioned moderate systolic dysfunction. What does this mean exactly? I'm a bit concerned because the report is already six months old. Can you help me make sense of this?

Why do heart attacks happen at night?

Researchers found that at around 6:30 a.m. the circadian system sends out an increased amount of PAI-1 cells which blocks blood clots from breaking down. The more PAI-1 cells in the blood, the higher the risk for a blood clot that leads to a heart attack
