I'm really concerned about my dad's recent medical tests. His ECG showed something about an aVF T Wave abnormality, but then he got a 2D echo, and it came back normal. I'm just trying to understand why one test would show something abnormal and the other wouldn't. Could this mean something serious?

cause is lack of electrical impulse to the heart and lack of blood supply leading to sudden collaose and dizziness.Patient needs cardioversion or a defibrilator as a immediate treatment.

View allI'm trying to understand the difference between the results of my echo and my CT scan regarding my heart condition. My echo shows mild concentric LVH with lvpwdd 12.2 and ivs d 12, and my LVEF is at 73. But my CT scan, which was a 128-slice MDCT of the heart, suggests normal LVH and a normal LV cavity with normal thickness, having a zero calcium score. Also, my TMT came out negative for any chest pain-related issues. I'm kind of confused here. Which result should I rely on when it comes to the left ventricular hypertrophy? Which is considered more accurate or should I be concerned about something else here?
Both CT angiography and echocardiogram are valuable tools for assessing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), but they provide different types of information. In your case, since the CT angiography showed normal left ventricular cavity with normal thickness and normal coronary arteries, and zero calcium score, it indicates a healthy heart without any structural abnormalities or blockages. On the other hand, the echocardiogram reported mild concentric LVH with specific measurements of left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWd) and interventricular septum thickness (IVSd). Given the discrepancy between the two imaging modalities, it is important to consider the clinical context and overall picture. In this scenario, the findings from the CT angiography showing a normal heart structure and function, along with a negative TMT (treadmill test), are more indicative of a healthy heart. Therefore, the CT angiography results are more reliable in this case. To address the chest pain related problem, you can consider taking medications like Amlodipine (5mg) for blood pressure control and Metoprolol (25mg) for heart rate control. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be used for chest pain relief as needed. It is also important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing this strange sensation in my chest. It's not painful, more like a tender or weird feeling. My heart's fine as far as I know, but I'm not sure what's going on. Could it be something else in the chest area? It's starting to worry me a bit. Any idea what this could be?
Given your young age and lack of cardiac symptoms, it is most probably case of heartburn, or acute gastritis. Try to avoid hot, spicy and acidic foods for a few days, opt for a blander softer and blander diet. Avoid smoking if you are a smoker, and increase green leafy vegetables in your diet. You can take pantoprazole + domperidone capsules (Pan-D capsules) for a few days to help you with your heartburn. Drink plenty of water and stretch your muscles regularly.
