I'm really worried about having three blocked arteries in the heart. Is bypass surgery the best option for this situation, or are there other treatments I should consider? I've heard a lot about different procedures, but it's all a bit confusing. What do you recommend?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, bypass surgery is often recommended for blockages in multiple arteries of the heart. The surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle by using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body or a synthetic tube. This can help improve blood flow to the heart and reduce symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. The specific medication and dosage post-surgery will depend on individual factors and should be prescribed by your healthcare provider.

View allI'm really worried about this whole ECG report thing. It showed some ST segment downslope depression during my pre-employment medical exam. Then I did an echocardiogram with a color doppler test, and it shows DRA grade 1 with this E wave A wave stuff, whatever that means. There's no RWMA but the systolic is normal. The doctor didn't give me any meds except for blood pressure medicine. Is it really okay? What does this all mean? Would love some guidance on this.
"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have a normal ECG with ST segment downslope depression and a Doppler test showing DRA grade 1 with Ewave> A wave, no RWMA, and normal systolic function. Since your doctor has only prescribed blood pressure medication, it indicates that there are no significant cardiac issues requiring specific treatment at the moment. However, to further support your heart health, you can consider taking a low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily for its cardioprotective benefits. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and stress management can also be beneficial. It's important to continue regular follow-ups with your doctor for monitoring and guidance."

How long are ECG, 2D ECHO, and Stress ECHO results valid? I've done these tests and everything came back normal, but I'm curious about how long these results are considered accurate. Should I repeat them often or are they good for a while?
Echo is valid for 6-12 months.
