I'm scheduled to have an angiogram next week and I'm feeling a bit anxious about it. How long does it usually take to recover fully from this procedure? I'm also worried about any possible side effects or serious risks that might come with it. And after the angiogram, will I need to stay in the hospital for a long time?

View allI'm a bit worried because I just got some results back and I'm not sure what to make of them. My blood pressure is reading 13090 and my recent echo shows I've got Grade 1 Diastolic Dysfunction. I'm wondering, can losing weight help reverse this condition? Also, my ECG indicates a sinus rhythm, which I believe is normal, but should I be concerned?
Yes it can be reversed,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy lifestyle

My mom had cardiac aortic valve replacement surgery in 2013 when she was 47. Her PT has been stable around 1.6, usually staying between 1.2 and 2.0. But recently, a different cardiologist said her PT isn't good and should be in the 2-3 range. I'm confused because her levels have been consistent for years is this something we should be worried about? What should we do next?
Your cardiologist is right. It depends on which type of valve ur mom has. U can continuously monitor the PT INR through remote monitoring.

I'm trying to figure out how long the results of a treadmill test are good for. I had mine done about 28 days ago, and it was negative. I'm also curious about how long an ECG test stays valid. Can you help me out with this?
A treadmill test (TMT) result is typically considered valid for about 6 months to 1 year, depending on the individual's health condition and any changes in symptoms. Since your TMT was negative 28 days ago, it should still be considered valid. As for an ECG test, it is generally valid for a shorter period, usually around 1-2 weeks. If you have any concerns or new symptoms, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
