View allI'm a bit concerned about getting the COVID vaccine because I had angioplasty about a decade ago and have been taking ecospirin tablets since then. I've heard that the vaccine might be risky for people with a history of blood clots. Could you please shed some light on whether it's safe for someone like me?
It is generally safe for patients who have had angioplasty and are taking ecospirin (aspirin) to receive the Covid vaccine. The benefits of getting vaccinated against Covid-19 outweigh the risks, especially in individuals with a history of heart disease. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before getting vaccinated to ensure it is safe for your specific medical condition.

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've been having chest pains and I got a CT angio which showed myocardial bridging of my proximal LAD at 1.8 cm. My cardiologist said everythings fine and not to worry, but I still get regular chest pains, especially when walking or climbing stairs. What do you think I should do about this?
Based on your symptoms and the presence of myocardial bridging in your proximal LAD, it is important to address the ongoing chest pain you are experiencing. Since your cardiologist has already reviewed your case and deemed it not concerning, you may benefit from medication to help alleviate your symptoms. I recommend starting a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem (Cardizem) at a low dose initially, and gradually increasing as needed under the guidance of your doctor. Additionally, you can also consider taking a nitrate medication like Isosorbide Mononitrate (Imdur) to help with chest pain relief during physical activity. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
