I've been keeping an eye on my health and just found out that my blood pressure is at 14090. My ECG report shows that my right bundle branch is blocked, and now my doctor wants me to start taking CYTOGARD and MONIT GTN 2.6. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous about starting these medications since I don't really have any symptoms. Is it really necessary to take them, or should I hold off until there's something more serious going on?

My dad recently had a heart attack and got a 40mm stent placed in his LAD. Is there still a chance he might need bypass surgery for that area later on?

Yes, it's possible your dad might need bypass surgery in the future, even after having a stent placed in his LAD. While stents are effective for opening blocked arteries, they don't address the underlying cause of the blockage, and there's a chance of restenosis (re-narrowing of the artery) or new blockages forming later

Hey, I'm really puzzled by my dad's ECG test results, and I'm hoping you can shed some light on it for me. He's 66 and the report mentions something about a "sinus rhythm" and "suspect inferior myocardial infarction." There's also a note on "right axis deviation." Should I be concerned about these findings? What do these terms mean for his heart health? I'd appreciate your help in understanding what all this technical stuff means.

Probable differential diagnosis include right axis deviation and myocardial infarction.. Ecg and cardiac markers advised and cardiac opinion..
