I'm really worried because my father has an LVEF of 35% as per his 2D echo report. I'm trying to figure out what kind of treatment he might need. Should we be considering an angiography? He hasn't had a heart attack and doesn't feel any chest pain. I did some reading and think maybe it's arrhythmia because about three years ago, he nearly fainted while cycling due to stress. Since then, he's been on medication for hypertension. Could you tell me what steps we should take next?

Since the patients LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) is 35.. indicates that he is having severe heart damage .. Some of the causes uncontrolled hypertension , heart muscle diseasesex cardiomyopathy, heart attack and heart valve issues..Angiography is needed since echo report reveals severe heart dysfunction.Treatment invoves ACE inhibitors ,calcium channel blockers and beta blockers..

View allI've been dealing with diabetes for the past 10 years and I've also got high cholesterol. I used to take Tonact TG, which really helped me a lot, but my doctor recently switched me to Ecosprin AV 75. My TMT came back positive, but all my other heart tests, including the CT coronary, were normal. I'm wondering if I can take Tonact TG and Ecosprin 75 separately instead of just using Ecosprin AV 75? I noticed that with Tonact TG, my LDL stays around 70 mgdL and it also boosts my HDL levels more than just taking atorvastatin. Can you help me figure this out?
NO take ecospirin av as it comes in combiantion with blood thinner and you gave arisk as your tmt came out positive,no need to worry ,follow your doctors advice

I'm really worried about my dad. He's got an artery blockage and has already had an angiography done. I'm stuck trying to figure out whether we should go for angioplasty or bypass surgery. He mentioned something about stents being used in angioplasty. Could you guide me on what's the best option here? Ive attached the report with all the details.
Both angioplasty with stenting and bypass surgery are effective treatments for artery blockages, but the best option depends on the specifics of your father's condition, including the location and severity of the blockages, his overall health, and any other medical issues. Angioplasty with stenting is less invasive and has a shorter recovery time, making it suitable for single or fewer blockages. Bypass surgery, though more invasive with a longer recovery period, might be recommended for multiple or complex blockages and can provide more durable results in certain cases. Consulting with your father's cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon will provide a comprehensive understanding of the best treatment approach tailored to his condition.

I'm dealing with heart issues and also have diabetes. Can I safely take Ramitorva capsules along with my current medication, Cetanil 10mg?
Yes, you can take Ramitorva capsules (which contain Ramipril and Atorvastatin) along with Cetanil 10mg. Ramitorva helps in controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, while Cetanil (Cetirizine) is an antihistamine used for allergies. Just make sure to follow the prescribed dosage for each medication.
