I'm really concerned about my father's health after getting his ECG results. He's 72 and sometimes has high blood pressure. He's been taking ecospirin av 75 at night, and the report mentions sinus bradycardia, right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality suggesting lateral ischemia. It's labeled as an abnormal ECG, and I'm honestly worried. Should we consider surgery, or is it safe for him to continue with the ecospirin av 75? Could you please guide us on the next steps?

"Based on the ECG report showing Sinus bradycardia, Right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality with possible lateral ischemia, it is important to consult a Cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Your father may need additional tests such as a stress test or coronary angiography to assess the extent of any blockages in the heart vessels. In terms of medication, Ecospirin AV 75 is a combination of Aspirin and Atorvastatin, which is commonly used for heart conditions. It is important to continue this medication as prescribed by the doctor unless advised otherwise. However, the dosage and frequency may need to be adjusted based on the cardiologist's recommendations. At this point, there is no indication for immediate surgery based on the information provided. The next steps will depend on the cardiologist's assessment of your father's overall cardiac health and the extent of any potential ischemia. Please schedule an appointment with a Cardiologist at the earliest to discuss the ECG findings and determine the appropriate course of action."

I've been wearing a Holter monitor for three days because I've been having these palpitations. I got the report back and it mentions something about arrhythmia. Is this something I should be worried about or is it considered normal?

Hi, wearing a Holter monitor for three days is a common way to monitor heart activity for palpitations. Arrhythmias can be detected in such monitoring, and it is important to review the specific type and frequency of arrhythmias mentioned in your report. Depending on the type of arrhythmia detected, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-100mgday) to help manage the palpitations and regulate your heart rhythm. It is important to follow up with your doctor to discuss the findings of the report and any recommended treatment options.

I'm really worried about my brotherI could use some advice. He's 32 and had angioplasty with 2 stents about 1.5 years ago. Right now, he's doing okay and just takes one tablet in the morning that the doctor advised. But here's the thinghe's started drinking alcohol twice a week, and he claims the doctor said it's fine. I'm not sure if he's being completely honest or not. Is drinking okay for someone with his heart issues, especially considering the stents? What could be the pros and cons?

alcohol cessation is advised. Also salt restricted diet , DASH diet like fruits,vegetables, legumes are advised to the patient.
