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 29 and just measured my blood pressure at 13863. Is this normal, or should I think about seeing a cardiologist for more checks?
A blood pressure reading of 13863 falls within the prehypertension range. It is slightly elevated, especially the systolic reading. For individuals aged 29, it is recommended to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to help lower it. If you continue to have elevated readings, you can consider taking antihypertensive medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. Remember to also focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management to improve your overall cardiovascular health.

I'm trying to understand my echo report and I'm a bit concerned. It says my cardiac size is normal with some terms like Lvdd being 5.4 cm, La at 3.8 cm, and mild lvh. Then it mentions good lv systolic function and an EF range of 55 to 60. Plus, normal right systolic function and no abnormal wall motion. Should I be worried about anything here? Just looking for some clarity on what all this means for my heart health.
Your echo report indicates that you have Cardiac Hypertrophy with normal left ventricular size (LVDD 5.4 cm) and mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Your left atrium is also within normal size (LA 3.8 cm). The report shows good left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction (EF) of 55-60%. Additionally, your right ventricular systolic function is normal with no abnormal wall motion. Based on the information provided, you may consider medications such as: - ACE Inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help reduce the workload on the heart and manage blood pressure. - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce the heart's workload. - Diuretics like Furosemide 40mg once daily to help reduce fluid buildup in the body and manage symptoms of heart failure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
