Question 1

I've been told my HSCRP level is 10, which I know is pretty high. I'm wondering, does taking Novastat 20 help bring that level down? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Accepted Answer

Novastat 20 contains Atorvastatin, which is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels. While it may have some anti-inflammatory effects, it is not specifically indicated for reducing high HS-CRP levels. To specifically target high HS-CRP levels, medications like Aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory drugs may be more appropriate. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for the best treatment plan.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried about my TMT results that showed inducible ischemia and mentioned a 1 mm ST change in certain leads during exercise. My max heart rate reached 206, with a maximum blood pressure of 18580, and I'm only 33 years old. I exercised for a...

Accepted Answer

Given your positive TMT result showing inducible ischemia with 1 mm ST depression in multiple leads, achieving maximum heart rate during the test, and normal 2D Echo results, an angiogram may be recommended to further evaluate the extent and severity of coronary artery disease, especially considering your young age (33) and high workload achieved during the test; consult your cardiologist to discuss the risks and benefits of an angiogram and determine the best course of action.

Question 3

I've been experiencing some mild chest pain right in the center of my chest, but it only lasts for a few seconds before it goes away. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something simple?

Accepted Answer

Mild, intermittent chest pain lasting a few seconds, located in the middle of your chest, may indicate non-cardiac causes such as acid reflux, anxiety, or musculoskeletal issues, but to rule out cardiac conditions like angina or myocardial infarction, it's essential to consult a   cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, including an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests, and possibly stress tests or imaging studies.

Question 4

I'm planning to do a treadmill stress test soon, and I'm a bit nervous about what blood pressure and pulse rate levels are considered too high or too low during the test. Also, what does it mean if the test results come back as TMT positive or negati...

Accepted Answer

During a treadmill test, the allowed blood pressure level is usually below 200110 mmHg. The allowed pulse rate can vary depending on age, but generally should not exceed 85% of the maximum predicted heart rate for the individual's age. A TMT (Treadmill Test) is considered positive if there is significant ST segment depression on the ECG during or after exercise, indicating possible coronary artery disease. It is considered negative if there are no significant ECG changes during the test, suggesting a lower likelihood of coronary artery disease.

Question 5

I'm a bit worried about my recent ECG report, where they mentioned something about a possible arm lead reversal and an unusual P-axis. They also noted potential ectopic atrial rhythm and right axis deviation. It was marked as abnormal, and now I'm co...

Accepted Answer

In your ECG report, the interpretation suggests the possibility of arm lead reversal, an unusual P axis, a possible ectopic atrial rhythm, irregularity, right axis deviation, and an abnormal ECG. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take medications like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rhythm and prevent complications. Regular follow-up with your doctor is essential to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Question 6

I'm really concerned about my father's angiography report and was hoping you could take a look. It mentions a 60% lesion in the mid LAD, an 80% lesion in the proximal segment of the LCX, and a 90% lesion in the mid RCA. Does he need an angioplasty, a...

Accepted Answer

Whether angioplasty is required depends on a lot of factors. Of course the percentage of narrowing is an important factor. In case your cardiologist has suggested angioplasty it will most likely be necessary. But in case you want to be doubly sure, it will be worth considering a second opinion from another cardiologist.

I've been told my HSCRP level is 10, which I know is pretty high. I'm wondering, does taking Novastat 20 help bring that level down? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.
