Question 1

I've recently had an angioplasty to clear a blockage in my main valve. It's been three days now, and I've started feeling some pain in my left shoulder after sitting for a few hours. I haven't been lifting any heavy objects or anything like that. Is this something related to my heart? Should I be worried? Please let me know what's going on.

I'm feeling pretty worried after getting my recent full body check-up results. The echo report showed something unusual, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Sometimes I get really anxious, and when I was getting the echo done, my heartbeat was racin...

In your echo report, it mentions that you have mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with a pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) of 32 mmHg. Your left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is 65%, which is within the normal range. Based on the information provided, everything seems to be normal except for the mild MR and TR. Given your symptoms of feeling anxious and experiencing an elevated heart rate during the echo, it is important to address your anxiety. To manage anxiety and potentially reduce the impact on your heart rate, you can consider taking medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for anxiety is 20-40mg three to four times daily. It is also advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss the findings of your echo report and to determine if any further evaluation or treatment is necessary. Regular follow-ups and monitoring may be recommended to ensure your heart health is maintained.

Question 5

I'm trying to figure out the best method or test to determine if my heart is in good condition. I've heard that an echo might not fully guarantee a healthy heart. Can you clarify this for me and maybe suggest other reliable options?

Accepted Answer

The best way to check the health of your heart is through a combination of tests. One of the most common and effective tests is an ECG (Electrocardiogram), which measures the electrical activity of your heart. Additionally, an Echocardiogram (Echo) can provide valuable information about the structure and function of your heart. To get a comprehensive assessment, you can also consider a stress test to evaluate how your heart performs under physical exertion. These tests, along with blood tests to check cholesterol and other markers, can give a good indication of your heart health.

Question 6

I'm a bit worried because I recently experienced a sudden increase in my heart rate, and when I got an ECG, it showed something called an ST abnormality. I'm wondering, is this a cause for concern? Does it often show up on ECGs, or should I be more a...

Accepted Answer

ST abnormalities in an ECG can indicate various cardiac conditions. It is important to determine the specific type of ST abnormality (e.g. ST elevation or ST depression) and its location on the ECG. ST abnormalities can be seen in conditions such as myocardial infarction, angina, pericarditis, myocarditis, or electrolyte imbalances. Given your sudden increase in heart rate and the presence of ST abnormalities on your ECG, it is important to further evaluate the underlying cause. Depending on the severity and type of ST abnormality, treatment may include medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, beta-blockers, or interventions like angioplasty or surgery. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.
