I've been a smoker and drank alcohol almost every day for the past decade, dealing with high cholesterol and triglycerides all this time. I just started medication for these issues. Recently, I had a 2D echo and TMT that both came back normal. Can I assume everything's okay with my coronary arteries if both tests look good, especially now that I've quit smoking and drinking?

Based on your recent normal 2D echo and TMT results, it is a positive indication that there may not be significant coronary artery disease present. However, it is important to continue monitoring your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle without smoking and alcohol consumption. Additionally, regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to ensure your cardiovascular health remains optimal.

View allI've been dealing with anxiety for about a month now. My cardiologist mentioned that during the echo test, there was palpitations and a skipped beat. Is this something I should be worried about? He prescribed me sleeping pills along with anxiety medication. Everything else seems normal, with the LVEF at 60. Does that sound okay?
Palpitations and skipped beats during an echo test can be concerning, but it is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. For anxiety, medications like Xanax (alprazolam) can be prescribed. For sleep, medications like Ambien (zolpidem) can be helpful. It's good to know that all other parameters are normal and your LVEF is 60%. Make sure to take the medications as prescribed and follow up with your cardiologist for any concerns.
