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 feeling a strange vibration in my chest after running and sometimes while I'm running. Its kind of weird and Im a bit worried. Two years back, my TMT, echo, and ECG came out normal, and I even had a CT angiogram a year ago, which was fine. My Holter monitor results were okay too. What could be causing this sensation, and should I be concerned about something else going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations or a sensation of vibration in your chest during or after running. Since your TMT, echo, ECG, CT angiogram, and Holter monitor have been normal in the past, it is less likely to be related to any structural or electrical heart issues. One possible cause could be related to increased sympathetic activity during exercise. It is important to stay hydrated and ensure you are not overexerting yourself during physical activity. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider discussing with your doctor about trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (dosage can vary) to help control heart rate and palpitations during exercise.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with pain in his left arm for over six years now, and at first, he was diagnosed just with hypertension. But after some more tests, they found out he has angina. The doctor recommended he take medication for about 23 weeks and then get an angiography. I'm wondering if we definitely need to go through with the angiography, or is there another way to handle this? And how serious is his condition?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the need for angiography, as it is a procedure that can provide valuable information about the condition of the heart and blood vessels. In the meantime, to manage angina, your father can take medications such as Nitroglycerin to relieve chest pain and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, medications like Aspirin and Beta-blockers can help reduce the workload on the heart and prevent further complications. It is important to continue monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well. Angina is a serious condition that requires proper management and monitoring to prevent complications such as heart attack.

I'm wondering about my QTc interval, which was 454ms on the EKG. Is this considered normal? I also have sinus arrhythmia and had a panic attack before but during that time, both the EKG and echocardiogram came out normal. Should I be worried about this, and is there anything specific I should do or ask my doctor?
Your QTc interval of 454ms is slightly prolonged, which may be related to your sinus arrhythmia. Since you have a history of panic attacks, it's important to monitor your QTc interval regularly. In this case, it would be advisable to avoid medications that can further prolong the QTc interval. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
