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 a bit confused about my recent echo reports. The first one mentioned mild MR and MVP, but when I went to another hospital for a second opinion, they only found mild MR, no MVP. What should I do next? Should I be concerned about this discrepancy?
To confirm the presence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP), it is important to have a thorough evaluation by a cardiologist. In the meantime, for mild mitral regurgitation (MR), you can take medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage the condition. It is also important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with constrictive pericarditis and was admitted to Sri Satya Sai Hospital. They won't operate because my white blood cell count is low. They recommended getting my WBC up before they proceed with the surgery. Could you suggest how I can increase my WBC levels within 10-15 days?
To increase your WBC count, you can take Filgrastim (brand name Neupogen) at a dosage of 5-10 mcgkgday. This medication can help stimulate the production of white blood cells in your body. Additionally, you can also consider taking Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) medications such as Pegfilgrastim (brand name Neulasta) at a dosage of 6 mg per chemotherapy cycle. These medications can help boost your WBC count within the specified timeframe.
