I'm really concerned about my father's heart condition. His report says the LVEF is 25, which I read somewhere is quite low, and theres mention of severe LV systolic dysfunction. The terms like "Grade mitral regurgitation" and "moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension" caught my attention. Can you help me understand what all this means? Also, what should we be doing next to manage or improve his heart health?

I've been tracking my blood pressure, and back in October, it was around 180100, but now it's dropped to 13080. I've been taking Telvas 3D, and I'm wondering if I should keep using it or maybe switch to something else. Why does my blood pressure keep changing so much?
Your blood pressure has improved significantly from 180100 in October to 13080 this month while taking Telvas 3D. This variation in blood pressure can be due to various factors such as stress, diet, physical activity, and medication adherence. It's great to see that your current medication is helping to lower your blood pressure. There is no need to change your tablets if your blood pressure is well controlled with Telvas 3D. This medication is a combination of Telmisartan, Amlodipine, and Hydrochlorothiazide, which work together to help lower blood pressure. The usual dosage is one tablet once daily, but it's important to follow your doctor's recommendations regarding dosage adjustments. Keep monitoring your blood pressure regularly and continue with a healthy lifestyle to maintain good blood pressure control. If you have any concerns or notice any unusual symptoms, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm 36 years old and my cholesterol levels are quite high. I've got the details here: Total cholesterol is 212 mgdL, triglycerides are 333 mgdL, HDL is 33.60 mgdL, LDL is 143 mgdL, VLDL is 35.4 mgdL, and Non-HDL is 178 mgdL. My liver function tests show bilirubin total at 0.42 mgdL, bilirubin direct at 0.07 mgdL, and bilirubin indirect at 0.35 mgdL. My SGOT is 40 UL, SGPT is 34 UL, GGTP is 28 UL, ALP is 121 UL, total protein is 7.20 gdL, and albumin is 4.48 gdL with an AG ratio of 1.65. My fasting blood sugar is 102 mgdL. The doctor recommended taking Rozavel F 10 mg twice a day, but I'm really concerned and wondering if there's anything else I can do to lower my cholesterol quickly. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
"Based on your cholesterol levels and liver function test results, I recommend adding Ezetimibe 10 mg once daily to your current treatment with Rozavel F 10 mg twice a day. This combination can help in faster reduction of cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids supplement to further improve your lipid profile. Make sure to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and engage in regular physical activity to complement the medication therapy."
