I'm really worried because I'm 26 and I've been having some heart pain, shortness of breath, and light dizziness. My lipid profile is normal, but my 2D Echo showed a Left ventricle size of 4.0 x 3.0 cm, IVSD 0.8 cm, LVPW 0.8 cm, EF 47, and FS 23. Everything else seemed normal. Is this something I should be really concerned about? Is it fixable, and can I get back to my normal life? I'm feeling scared and unsure about what steps to take.

Based on your symptoms and the findings from your 2D Echo, it is important to further evaluate your condition. The slight heart pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness could be indicative of a cardiac issue. With an EF of 47% and FS of 23%, there may be some impairment in your heart's pumping function. To address this, you may benefit from medication to improve your heart function and symptoms. I recommend starting with a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50 mg once daily) to help reduce your heart's workload and improve its efficiency. Additionally, an ACE inhibitor like Enalapril (5-10 mg once daily) can also be beneficial in improving heart function. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management are also crucial in improving your heart health. With proper treatment and lifestyle changes, many individuals can lead a normal life with cardiac conditions. Remember, early detection and management are key in addressing any potential heart issues. Take care and follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized care and guidance

What does a borderline ECG with an unconfirmed diagnosis mean on an ECG report? Is it something I should be worried about? My heart rate is 93, PR is 99, QRS duration is 82, QT is 330, and QTC is 411. Could you help me understand what these numbers indicate?
Borderline ECG unconfirmed diagnosis means that there are some findings on the ECG that are not definitive enough to make a clear diagnosis. In your case, with a heart rate of 93, PR interval of 99, QRS duration of 82, QT interval of 330, and QTc interval of 411, these values are within normal limits. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation of the ECG results. No specific medication is needed based on this information.

Doctors are suggesting surgery but I'm unsure about the pros and cons. What if bleeding happens again after surgery because of the actilyse injection? What could be the consequences? Are there other options besides surgery, and can this issue be fixed without it? I have an ICD in my heart from an operation three years ago, and now there's a clot again.
Discussing alternatives like anticoagulation adjustments or IVC filters with a cardiologist is key before considering surgery again.
