I'm really worried about my mom. Her recent reports showed that her heart's LVEF is just 18. Could you suggest ways to increase it? Shes between 18 to 60 years old. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

View allI've been dealing with anxiety for about a month now. My cardiologist mentioned that during the echo test, there was palpitations and a skipped beat. Is this something I should be worried about? He prescribed me sleeping pills along with anxiety medication. Everything else seems normal, with the LVEF at 60. Does that sound okay?
Palpitations and skipped beats during an echo test can be concerning, but it is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. For anxiety, medications like Xanax (alprazolam) can be prescribed. For sleep, medications like Ambien (zolpidem) can be helpful. It's good to know that all other parameters are normal and your LVEF is 60%. Make sure to take the medications as prescribed and follow up with your cardiologist for any concerns.

So I had my Echo test this afternoon, and it says my pulmonary arteries look normal but mentions I have mild PHT. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned?
Mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) means that there is increased blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. To manage mild PHT, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) at a dose of 20 mg three times a day. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your condition.

I'm a bit confused about my prescription. The doctor mentioned something about Prolomet XL R 50mg5mg. Is that the same as saying Prolomet XL 50mg and Prolomet R 50mg5mg? I'm not certain if he wants me to take XL or just R. Could you help me understand the difference?
It is the combination medication , prolomet xl r 505 mg is the medication.
