I'm really worried about my 62-year-old diabetic relative. He's had angina for over a year, and his ECG showed some troubling signs like a Q wave with T wave inversion. The echocardiogram was apparently normal, but the treadmill test came back positive, and the coronary angiogram revealed triple vessel coronary artery disease. He's stable now, thankfully, but they recommended PCI for the LCx and RCA. I'm just wondering what all this really means and where would be the best place for him to get this treatment? I'm feeling a bit lost here.

Why are young people who are fit suddenly having heart attacks? It's really worrying because even those who keep up with their fitness are facing these heart problems at such a young age. Can you explain why this is happening and suggest some preventive measures we can take against this serious issue?
There are several factors that can contribute to this, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and underlying health conditions. Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, managing stress, and getting regular check-ups with your healthcare provider. In terms of medication, aspirin can be used as a preventive measure for heart attacks. Low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) taken daily can help reduce the risk of heart attacks in high-risk individuals. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.

I'm having regular chest pain, along with pain in my left arm and leg. I'm not sure how to get treatment for this. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I might address it? I'm feeling a bit worried about these symptoms.
The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to musculoskeletal issues or even cardiovascular problems. It is important to first rule out any serious conditions by consulting with a healthcare professional. However, for relief from pain, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream or gel to the affected areas can also help. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
