Is rice bad for cholesterol?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Rice as altogether is not either bad or good for cholesterol. White rice has high cholesterol and also it is easily digestible, so one tends to overeat. On the other hand, brown rice is whole grain with low glycemic index, has less cholesterol and more fiber which promotes fullness.

I'm really worried after seeing my father's recent echo report. It mentioned mild concentric LV hypertrophy and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. His LVEF is at 75, which I think is good? But then there are terms like MV, AE, AV normal, and TDI EE 10.18, and I'm not sure what all that means. Can you help me understand the report and what it means for his heart health?
That says he is having mild left ventricular hypertrophy about wich you no need to worry and rest all the parametres are normal,have a healthy lifestyle,follow your doctors advice

I'm 77 years old and I've noticed my pulse rate has jumped to 142. It was 139 just an hour ago. Is this something I should be worried about?
This is not a normal pulse rate and requires immediate medical attention. A heart rate of 139-142 is significantly elevated for any age, but especially concerning for someone who is 77 years old. This condition, called tachycardia, can be dangerous and might indicate a serious underlying condition. Please seek emergency medical care right away - either call for an ambulance or have someone take you to the nearest emergency room. While waiting for medical help, try to stay calm, sit or lie down, and avoid any physical activity.
