I'm really worried about a situation I'm facing right now. Lately, I've noticed that he can't even make it to 1015 steps without getting super out of breath. But oddly enough, he's able to sleep comfortably. Should I be concerned about this imbalance, and is there something specific I should be looking into or doing for him?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my recent heart test results. I'm 53, usually pretty active, and not a blood pressure patient. My 2D echo came back with some terms that are worrying me a little, like concentric LVH and something about my aortic valve being sclerotic. The report mentioned a murmur sound, mild PAH, and a note about grade 1 LVDD. My LVEF is at 60%. Can you help me understand what all this means, especially the LVH and the sclerotic aortic valve? Should I be worried about these findings, even though the report says no RWMA, no effusion, and no clots?
Based on the report, the patient has Concentric LVH with Grade 1 LVDD, sclerotic aortic valve with trivial AR, mild PAH, and no significant abnormalities in the heart chambers. The ejection fraction is within the normal range at 60%. The patient's active lifestyle is a positive sign, but regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition and manage any potential progression of the identified issues.

I've been taking medicine for blood pressure for a few years now, and I'm 45. Lately, even short walks or a couple of stairs have been really tough. I used to handle longer walks and more stairs without any issues. I had an ECG done three months ago, and it looked normal. I don't have trouble just going about my day, but my blood sugar is kind of borderline too. I'm wondering what test would be better to figure out what's going onan echo or a TMT?
Based on your symptoms and medical history, it would be advisable to go for a TMT (Treadmill Test) to assess your cardiac function and determine if there are any underlying issues causing your symptoms. TMT is a stress test that helps evaluate how well your heart responds to exertion. It can provide valuable information about your heart's health and function, especially in cases where there are symptoms like shortness of breath and decreased exercise tolerance. It is a non-invasive test that can help in diagnosing any potential heart problems.

Heart function is less than fifty percent, which is pretty concerning. I'm wondering how I can improve it. Is it possible to fix this with medicine alone, or would I need something like a stent or another type of treatment? Any advice would be appreciated!
i means that there is systolic dysfunction or acute angina, papillary muscle dysfunction or any heart blocks..i would suggest an angiogram procedure to the patient to look into any pathological defects..Patient is advised DASH Diet , low sodium intake, consumption of green leafy negetables,fruits and legumes etc..
