Question 2

I'm really concerned about my husband. He's 34 and doesn't smoke or drink, and he seems physically fit. But his TMT report came back positive, and the Echo showed mild LVF. We did a CT angiography, and it was normal, with no blockages found. Should we be worried about these results? Any advice would be helpful.

Accepted Answer

"Hi, based on the information provided, it seems like your husband is in good overall health despite the positive TMT report and mild LVF on Echo. Since the CT angiography showed no blockage, that is a good sign. To manage the mild LVF, your husband can take ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5mg once daily to help improve heart function. It's also important for him to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor his heart health. I hope this helps."

Question 3

I've been having this stabbing chest pain for the past couple of days, especially when I laugh or cough. I've already tried taking Rantac and Gelusil, but it hasn't helped at all. It's making me feel really uneasy. Can you tell me what's going on or what I should do?

I'm really worried about my mom who's 68. She's been diagnosed with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and has an overall LVEF of 50-50. They also mentioned grade diastolic dysfunction. I'm just trying to understand, is this something serious that we need to be concerned about?

An angiogram is advised to the patient and a cardiac opinion..
