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 really confused about something on my chest X-ray. It mentioned "cardiovascular markings," and I'm not entirely sure what that actually indicates. Is this something serious? Should I start taking any specific meds or consider certain treatments? I'd really appreciate some advice on what steps I should take next. Thanks for shedding some light on this!

My mom is currently taking a CTD 12.5 tablet daily as her doctor prescribed. I've heard that generic medicines can be more affordable. Is there a generic version of this tablet you could recommend for us? I'm trying to find a more cost-effective option.

Chlorthslid 12.5 mg and thalitone 12.5mg .

I've been noticing something a bit worrying lately sometimes it feels like my heart just sinks for a brief moment, less than a minute, and then things feel normal again. I kind of ignored it at first, but it happened again today, and now I'm a bit concerned. This has been going on occasionally over the past 34 months, and I've counted around 56 times when this has happened. Do you think this could be a sign of a minor attack, or is it something else I should be looking into? What kind of tests would you recommend I get done?

cardiac markers and ecg are advised..
