Sure, here's a rephrased version of the user's query: I've been having chest pains off and on for a couple of days and got an ECG done. Here's what the results say: Vent rate is 73 bpm, PR interval is 114 ms, QRS duration is 94 ms, QTQTc is 388427 ms, and the PRT axes are 64, 52, and 25. I'm really not sure if these numbers are normal. Should I be taking any special precautions, especially since the pain keeps showing up in different parts of my body at different times?

I'm really worried about a family member who's been diagnosed with severe calcific aortic stenosis. Ive heard about treatments like surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any other options out there, like medication or non-surgical approaches, that could help in managing this condition? I'm not very familiar with all the treatment possibilities and just want to explore anything that might be less invasive. What are our options here?
Severe calcific aortic stenosis typically requires surgical intervention, as medications alone are generally insufficient to treat the condition. The primary treatments include surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), depending on the patient's overall health and suitability for surgery. While medications can help manage symptoms and associated conditions such as heart failure or high blood pressure, they do not address the underlying valve obstruction. Consulting with a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon will provide the best treatment plan tailored to the patient's needs.
