My mom, who's 50, has been taking Thyronorm 50 for her thyroid. Her doctor mentioned noticing some changes in her ECG twice during her follow-ups and suggested she should get a TMT and an Echo done. Her 2D Echo looks normal with an LVEF of 65%, but her TMT came back positive for inducible ischemia at a moderate workload level. She's mentioned having shortness of breath sometimes when she's climbing stairs, but other than that, she's fine and doesn't have any chest pain or a history of high blood pressure or diabetes. What would you suggest as the next steps for her?

View allI'm looking at my echo report, and it mentions Grade 1 LVDD. I'm a bit worried. Is this something I should be concerned about? I've attached the echo file so you can take a look. Could you help me understand what this means?
Grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction) is a mild form of diastolic dysfunction where the left ventricle of the heart has slightly impaired relaxation. It is usually not considered a serious condition on its own, but it can progress to more severe forms if left untreated. Treatment usually involves managing underlying conditions such as high blood pressure or coronary artery disease. Without seeing the echo report, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm experiencing some discomfort in my heart from time to time, and I recently had an ECG done, which came back with something called "borderline." I'm a bit worried and curious to know if there are any tablets or treatments for heart blockages that I should consider. Could you help explain what "borderline" means and if it's something I should be concerned about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to heart blockages. In such cases, medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel can be prescribed to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, medications like Atorvastatin can be used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Regarding your ECG showing borderline changes, this could indicate potential issues with the heart's electrical activity. It is recommended to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
