I'm really concerned about my mom. She's got a heart rate that's sitting at 100 bpm. What can we do to bring it down to a normal range? Could you suggest any steps, actions, or medications that might help?

To lower her heart rate to a normal level, she can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. It is also important for her to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and nicotine, and get an adequate amount of sleep. If these lifestyle changes do not help, she can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol to help lower her heart rate.

I recently got an ECG and 2D Echo done and the results show acyanotic congenital heart disease with severe valvular PS, mild PR, mild infundibular stenosis, significant RV hypertrophy, mild TR, and a moderately restrictive PDA with LR shunt gradient of 50 mmHg. The report also mentions RV hypertrophy, RA MPA dilation, but normal LV systolic function. Can you explain what this condition means and whether surgery is the only option to treat it? What would be the estimated cost for surgery and is there any chance of managing this with just medication? If I don't get surgery, how long can I expect to live with this condition and are there risks of a heart attack?
Consult a cardiologist with detailed Echo report (both hard copy and cd) This is a congenital malformation in your heart The definitive treatment is surgery Risk of heart attack per say because of this disease doesn't increase many fold but a potential risk of heart failure is always there Consult a cardiologist as advised earlier

I'm really concerned about this recurring middle chest pain I've been experiencing. I had a coronary angiogram done a while back on March 14, 2014, and everything showed normal coronaries, except for this myocardial bridging of the LAD. Can you help me understand what this means? Is this related to my chest pain, and should I be worried about it? Also, is there a validity period for the angiogram results, or is it something I should get checked again after a certain time?
The validity of your coronary angiogram performed on 14.3.14, which showed normal coronary arteries and myocardial bridging of the LAD, can diminish over time due to factors such as the progression of coronary artery disease, changes in symptoms, and continued risk factors like smoking or high blood pressure. Since the angiogram only provides a snapshot in time, it's important to regularly monitor your heart health, especially if you experience new or worsening chest pain. For the most accurate and up-to-date assessment, please consult your cardiologist, who may recommend repeat testing or other diagnostic procedures based on your current condition. Regular follow-ups are crucial to ensure your heart health is effectively managed.
