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.

Can having conditions like splenomegaly or GERD cause left axis deviation on an ECG even if there aren't any other abnormalities? My cardiologist mentioned that having LAD in my case is normal since there aren't any additional issues, but I'm worried. Should I be concerned about this?

Left axis deviation can be a normal finding in some people, if not accompanied by any other cardiac findings orbsymptoms. And it has nothing to do with gerd or spleenomegaly.

I'm dealing with grade 2 renal disease and would really appreciate some dietary advice. I'm already taking medications like Nefrosavenicardia 20mg and Aztar R. Is this enough, or should I be doing something else?

salt restricted diet ,DASH diet , fruits and green leafy vegetables and legumes is advised to the patient. Also fluid restriction is advised..since excess fluid intake may worsen the symptoms..
