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?

I'm having this weird feeling of short breath and some dizziness, especially when I try to sleep. It's been happening just recently, and it's getting kinda uncomfortable. I had a full body check-up not too long ago, including heart tests like an ECG, echo, diabetes check, and a TMT, and they were all normal. My weights around 110 kg, and my blood pressure is 14090. I'm really puzzled about what could be causing this mild shortness of breath. Any ideas?

I'm experiencing all the symptoms that feel like angina. I've had chest pain, shortness of breath when walking, pain in my left arm, and jaw pain. I already did an ECG and an echocardiogram, and they came back normal. Should I have more tests done?
