I'm trying to understand the results of my recent 2D echo and colour Doppler test. It mentioned things like LEFT VENTRICLE ASH, TRILEAFLETS, and an AORTIC VALVE that's thickened. It also noted some stuff about COLOUR DOPPLER and something called AV GRDT 5mmHg AR GRADE 1. They concluded I have HYPERTENSIVE HEART DISEASE and ASYMMETRICAL SEPTAL HYPERTROPHY among other things. They said I have a NORMAL LV SYSTOLIC FUNCTION with an EF of 64%, but I'm not quite sure what that means. Given this, is my condition something thats curable or can be managed? Would surgery or implants help at all? I don't have diabetes and my heart rate stays around 50-60 bpm consistently. I've been on Zabeta X for nine years, then LODOZ 2.5 for a year, and now CONCOR 2.5 for the last 15 days. Also, I've been taking Restyl 0.5 at bedtime for 9 years. What should I consider doing next?

- Whether it is curablecontrolled? Based on the diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease, asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, sclerotic aortic valve with mild aortic regurgitation, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, these conditions can be managed and controlled with appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications. While these conditions may not be completely curable, their progression can be slowed down and symptoms can be managed effectively with proper medical management. 2. Whether surgery or implants in any way will be of any help? In your case, since you have normal left ventricular systolic function and no regional wall motion abnormalities at rest, surgery or implants may not be necessary at this point. However, in some cases where there is severe aortic stenosis or regurgitation, surgical interventions such as aortic valve replacement may be considered. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and to determine if any surgical interventions are needed in the future. 3. Your considered opinion, suggestion, solution? Considering your current medication regimen, it is important to continue taking Concor 2.5 as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking can help in managing your condition. Regular follow-up visits with your cardiologist are essential to monitor your heart health and adjust your treatment plan as needed. If you have any concerns or experience any new symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI just got my mom's ECG report, and it says her QRS is 80 ms, and there's something about intraventricular conduction delay. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything we can do at home to help with it?
This delay can sometimes be a sign of underlying heart conditions. It is important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Unfortunately, there are no home remedies that can specifically address intraventricular conduction delays. It is crucial to follow the advice and treatment plan recommended by the cardiologist to ensure proper management of this condition.

I'm worried about my pulse oximeter readings. It's been showing my pulse rate between 112 and 120, and my oxygen saturation levels are at 92 to 94. I've noticed my heart beats really fast occasionally over the past month. Considering my age and other health issues, do you think this is something I need to be concerned about?
A pulse rate between 112 and 120 with oxygen saturation of 92-94, especially if you're experiencing a fast heartbeat intermittently, can be concerning, particularly with your existing health conditions. It would be wise to consult your doctor to rule out any underlying issues, as it might indicate a need for further evaluation.

I've been noticing that my resting pulse rate is around 90-100, and sometimes it even goes above 100. I often feel these strong heart palpitations. I had an echo done, and everything seemed normal, and my blood pressure is fine too. I'm 24 and weigh 67 kg. People say it might be due to anxiety, and yeah, I do worry about my career and family like everyone else. I don't eat junk food, and I drink about 3-4 cups of tea a day max. I'm just really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Could it really be just anxiety, or should I be looking into something else?
