I'm really concerned about my 6-month-old daughter who has a 4 mm perimembranous VSD. Is there a chance that this VSD will close on its own, or should I be worried about any complications?

I'm a bit concerned about my mom's heart condition. She had an angina PCI a few years ago and had two stents placed in her LAD and RCA. After five years, her doctor stopped clopidogrel and now she's only on aspirin and atorvastatin. I'm just wondering, does this sound right to you? Should we be worried about taking her off clopidogrel? Would love some advice on this.

Clopidogrel and atorvastatin both do the same action that it control the lipid profile. So if she is taking aspirin and atorvastatin, i don't think there is a problem. It's perfect. No need to take both atorvastatin and clopidogrel.

I've been having this back pain that shoots down to my hands and chest. I had a TMT done on 20th February 2022, and it came out negative. But I'm worried because I'm feeling the pain again today, and my doctor advised an ECG. If my TMT was normal, do I really need to get an ECG every single time this pain hits?

If you have already undergone a TMT which was normal, and you are experiencing chest pain again, it is still important to have an ECG done to check for any acute changes in your heart's electrical activity. It is not necessary to have an ECG done every time you have pain, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it is advisable to seek medical attention and follow your doctor's recommendations.
