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.

View allI'm a 37-year-old guy and I've just got my lipid test results back. I'm a bit concerned about some of the numbers, like the LDL at 120 mgdl, triglycerides at 231 mgdl, and VLDL at 46.2 mgdl. My triglycerides to HDL ratio is also 7.4. Could you please guide me on what steps I should take next for treatment or lifestyle changes?
Based on your lipid test results, your triglyceride levels are elevated. To help lower your triglycerides, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as following a healthy diet low in sugars and refined carbohydrates, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In addition, medication may also be necessary to help lower your triglyceride levels. I recommend starting with a prescription of Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a dosage of 145mg once daily. This medication can help lower triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol levels. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your lipid levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I'm a bit confused about something in my recent medical results. My ECHO came back showing normal pulmonary arteries, but I've been told I might have mild PHT. How is it possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension if the echo indicates the arteries are fine? What should I make of this?
Yes, it is possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) even when the ECHO shows that the pulmonary arteries are normal. In such cases, treatment may involve medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. The dosage and duration of treatment would depend on the severity of the condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional.
