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 concerned after seeing something on my dad's ECG report that mentioned diastolic dysfunction. He had a heart attack back in 2006 but hasn't had any problems for 11 years. Should we be worried about this diastolic dysfunction showing up now? What does it really mean for his heart health moving forward, especially given his heart history?
The ECG report indicating diastolic dysfunction in a patient with a history of a heart attack in 2006 is concerning, despite the absence of recent issues. Diastolic dysfunction refers to abnormalities in the heart's relaxation phase, which can lead to impaired filling of the heart chambers. To address this, it is important to manage the underlying heart condition effectively. In this case, prescribing medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril or ARBs like Losartan can help improve diastolic function and reduce the risk of further complications. Additionally, beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can be beneficial in managing heart conditions and improving overall heart function. Regular follow-ups with a cardiologist are essential to monitor the heart's health and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Could you give me some advice or steps I can take to handle this? I'd be open to a phone or video consultation too. Appreciate your help!
