I'm really concerned about my 75-year-old mother-in-law who has a pacemaker and had to stop using her hearing aid. Her cardiologist mentioned that the electromagnetic signals could mess with the pacemaker. I'm wondering if it's possible for her to use both if we keep the hearing aid battery more than 6 inches away from the pacemaker. If so, what kind of hearing aid would you recommend in this situation? Would love your advice on this.

View allI'm reviewing my angiogram results, and it's making me pretty anxious. It mentions a "20% stenosis" in the distal left main, and a "90% stenosis" in the proximal left anterior descending artery, plus a "60% stenosis" in the mid LAD. The distal LAD is stated as normal, but there's a "40% stenosis" in the diagonal. Also, it says my right coronary artery has a "90% eccentric stenosis" in the distal part, though the rest is fine, as well as the PDA and minimal disease in PLV. Could you help me understand what all this means, and what should be done? I'm feeling really lost here.
"Based on the findings of your coronary angiogram, it appears that you have significant blockages in your left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA). To address the blockages and improve blood flow to your heart, a treatment plan may include the following: - For the 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD, a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery may be recommended. - For the 90% eccentric stenosis in the distal RCA, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement could be considered. - Medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and statins may also be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Please consult with your cardiologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case."

I've been dealing with high blood pressure and I've been prescribed Cilaheart. Since starting it, I've been struggling with insomnia and muscle weakness. I'm really worried that the medication might be causing these problems. Can medications like this have such side effects? Also, could you suggest any alternatives to Cilaheart and maybe some lifestyle changes I can make to help with my blood pressure?

I'm looking at the results from a recent heart evaluation, and I'm a bit concerned. It mentions "Concentric LVH, Mild MR, Trivial TR, normal pasp, No pericardial effusion, LVEF 60, No RWMA, Normal LV function," and my blood pressure reading was 210110. Could you help me understand what all this means for my heart health? I'm especially worried about the high blood pressure and terms like "Concentric LVH" and "LVEF 60." What should I be doing or asking my doctor about these findings?
The findings suggest concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and trivial tricuspid regurgitation (TR). There is no pericardial effusion, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is normal at 60%. There are no regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) indicating normal left ventricular function. The blood pressure is elevated at 210110 mmHg. You may consider starting antihypertensive medication to help lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. A combination of medications such as Amlodipine 5mg and Lisinopril 10mg can be prescribed to help manage your blood pressure effectively. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment as needed.
