View allI'm really worried about my dad who's been admitted to Nayati hospital in Mathura. He just got diagnosed with complete RBBB today. I'm in a bit of a dilemma about whether we should delay the angioplasty and find a doctor in Delhi NCR or just go ahead and get it done in Mathura. What I'm really curious about is if there's much difference in the quality of angioplasty between Mathura and Delhi. Is it risky to delay the procedure or is it fine to go with the doctors here in Mathura?
In general, the quality of angioplasty procedures can vary between hospitals and regions. However, Delhi NCR is known for having a higher concentration of top-tier hospitals and experienced cardiologists compared to Mathura. If the angioplasty is needed urgently and your father's condition requires immediate attention, it may be advisable to consider getting the procedure done in Delhi NCR where there may be more advanced facilities and expertise available. As for the decision to delay the angioplasty, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare team to assess the risks and benefits based on his specific medical condition and overall health. Delaying the procedure may pose risks in certain cases, so it is crucial to follow the advice of the medical professionals overseeing your father's care. If you decide to seek a doctor in Delhi NCR for the angioplasty, you can consider consulting with specialists at reputed hospitals like AIIMS, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, or Medanta - The Medicity for further evaluation and treatment."

I've had this chest pain for about three days now. I did an ECG and the doctor wrote 'TWNL' on it. Does that mean everything's normal? Also, I've attached my troponin T test report and need to know if it looks okay. Should I be worried about a heart problem? Can you take a look at my report, please?
The term "TWNL" in your ECG report stands for "T wave normal limit", indicating that the T wave on your ECG is within normal limits. Elevated levels of troponin T in the blood can indicate damage to the heart muscle, such as in the case of a heart attack. It is important to know the specific value of your troponin T levels to determine if they are within normal range. For chest pain lasting 3 days and concerning ECG findings, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.
