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.

I'm starting to get really worried because my heart's been racing for the last day and a half. It's super uncomfortable and happens whether I'm sitting or standing. I'm not even exercising or anything, so I can't figure out what's causing it. What should I do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of tachycardia. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help slow down your heart rate and reduce the discomfort. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine and stimulants which can exacerbate the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

I'm really worried about my dad. His heart's ejection fraction is only 20, and the doctor mentioned that means his heart's power is at 20. He's been on medication for the last three months, but I'm curious to know what kind of treatment might be next. Also, are there any specific precautions he should be taking right now? I'm just trying to figure out how to best support him through this.
Ejection fraction of the heart is very low , causes would be heart attack,cardiomyopathy,coronary artery disease, high blood pressure,aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitatin,myocarditis,arrhythmia etc , u can continue the same medications . An echocardiogram is advised and a cardiac opinion.
