My mom recently had a TMT test, and it showed a mild positive for inducible ischemia. The thing is, she didnt feel any pain or discomfort during the test. The doctor suggested we should go for an angiogram, but she's planning to go abroad for six months. Is it okay if we wait and do the angio after she comes back? Should we be concerned about waiting that long?

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the timing of the angiogram. However, in cases of mild positive inducible ischemia without symptoms, it may be possible to wait for 6 months before undergoing the angiogram. It is important to monitor your mother's symptoms and follow up with her doctor regularly during this time. If any new symptoms develop or if there are any changes in her health status, it is important to consult with her doctor earlier.

I've been noticing something a bit unsettling recently, like my heart seems to be beating really hard, especially when I'm just lying down or relaxing. My resting heart rate is around 94bpm, which seems a bit high to me? Also, I can feel this strong pulse over my suprasternal notch and some weird tingling vibrations on the right side of my sternum near the carotid. Its almost like a sensation of anxiety, but I dont feel anxious at all. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on?

An ecg,cardiac markers and echo is advised to the patient, if reports are normal, advised a psychiatric opinion for anxiety..

I'm 27 and work as an engineer. I recently had angioplasty after a heart attack, and now I'm really worried about my future. Should I still consider getting married? I'm afraid if I tell a potential partner about my heart issues, they might back out. It's making me think about staying single forever. What should I do?

getting a heart attack at young age and undergoing angioplasty should not restrict you from leading a healthy and happy life. You can marry after a heart attack after informing your future wife. Regarding your cardiac rehabilitation and future lifestyle advice i need further details.

I'm looking at my mom's ECG and echo reports, and I'm kind of worried. The ECG mentions poor R wave progression from V1 to V3, and the echo report says she has grade 1 left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. I'm not sure what that means. The thing is, she doesn't have any heart issue symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Could you help me understand what these findings imply?
