Question 3

So, I've been having this chest pain for a few months now, and I went through all the basic heart checks. My ECG was normal, but it showed Sinus tachycardia, and the TMT came back negative. The first time I did a 2D Echo, they mentioned Mild Concentr...

Accepted Answer

It is possible for there to be discrepancies in medical imaging findings, especially when it comes to conditions like mild concentric LVH. However, since your ECG and TMT results are normal and there is no longer evidence of mild concentric LVH on your recent 2D Echo, it is less likely that your chest pain is cardiac in nature. It is important to consider other potential causes for your chest pain, such as musculoskeletal issues, gastrointestinal problems, or even anxiety. To further evaluate your chest pain and rule out any other cardiac issues, you may consider discussing with your healthcare provider about other tests such as a stress echocardiogram, coronary CT angiography, or cardiac MRI. Additionally, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and regular follow-ups with your doctor are important for your overall health and well-being.

Question 4

How long are ECG, 2D ECHO, and Stress ECHO results valid? I've done these tests and everything came back normal, but I'm curious about how long these results are considered accurate. Should I repeat them often or are they good for a while?

Echo is valid for 6-12 months.

Question 5

I've been getting some pain on both sides of my chest from time to time, and I'm a bit worried about what it could mean. I had a chest X-ray recently and it came back normal, but can an X-ray really tell if there's something wrong with my heart or lu...

Accepted Answer

Chest x-rays are primarily used to visualize the lungs and surrounding structures, so they may not always detect heart problems. Since your chest x-ray came out normal, it is unlikely that there are any significant issues with your lungs. However, if you are experiencing chest pain on the right or left side, it is important to consider other factors such as muscle strain, rib issues, or even potential heart problems. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possibly an electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess your heart's function. If the pain persists, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed, following the recommended dosage instructions.

Question 6

I'm a bit concerned after my routine ECG showed a short PR interval noted by the doctor as 0.11 ms and an S wave extending to V6. Can you tell me what these findings might mean and what steps I should take next?

An echo is advised to the patient.
