My sister's been dealing with some pain on her left side, like under her armpit and shoulder, for a month. She had an ECG done back then, and it seemed normal. But now, she just got another ECG and it said "borderline abnormal." Should we think about doing another one or maybe see a cardiologist? What do you suggest?

View allI have rheumatic heart disease with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation and my LV is 58 - can this be managed with medications or do I need surgery
With rheumatic heart disease, moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation, and an LV ejection fraction of 58%, the decision to manage with medication or surgery depends on the specific symptoms and the severity of the regurgitation and LV dysfunction. While medications can help manage symptoms and prevent complications, severe cases often require surgical intervention to repair or replace the mitral valve. Your doctor will consider your individual circumstances, including the severity of your condition, your overall health, and your symptoms, to determine the best course of treatment

I'm a bit worried about a possible heart issue. So, I was working and suddenly got this intense headache. I went to see a doctor, and my ECG was a bit off. The Troponin I test showed 0.15 while my BP was 144. The doctor advised me to rest for 45 days with some meds and said there's no need to worry. After two days, I checked my ECG and BP, and they were both normal. I'm really curious if there's still a risk of any heart stroke or damage. What do you think?
A sudden headache and an elevated troponin I level of 0.15 ngmL can be concerning, as troponin is a marker of heart muscle damage. However, since your ECG and blood pressure are now normal and your doctor advised rest and medication, it appears that any immediate risk has been managed. It's important to follow your doctor's advice, take your medication, and rest as prescribed. Additionally, continue to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for any further evaluation or tests they recommend. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or another severe headache, seek medical attention immediately.
