I'm trying to understand the results of a recent angiogram and I'd love some clarity. It mentions a right femoral arterial approach with a normal LMCA, but there's a 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD and a 50% stenosis distally in the LCX. It also says the OM has a 90% stenosis in a small vessel, and the RCA has a 40% stenosis proximally. The renal angiogram shows everything is normal for both kidneys. My biggest worry is about the critical stenosis in the LAD. What does all this mean for my heart health, and what kind of treatment or lifestyle changes should I be considering?

View allI'm 75 years old and had bypass surgery in 1990. I've been told there's now a mild block in my artery, and I'm concerned about how to manage this. I'm also experiencing some breathing problems. Could you advise me on what steps I can take to address these issues?
For the mild blockage in your artery and breathing problem, you can take medications to help manage these conditions. 1. For the mild blockage in your artery, you can take a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of further blockages. 2. To improve your breathing, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your conditions and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I'm sitting on a chair, and my heart rate is around 94-95. When I take a moderate walk, it jumps to 130, but I don't feel any discomfort. This has been happening for about 20 days now. In the past, my resting heart rate used to be between 75-80. Should I be worried about this?
This change in your heart rate could be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. I recommend you to take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, reduce caffeine intake, and monitor your heart rate regularly. If you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, seek immediate medical attention.
