Question

Is it a big issue if I have cardiac conduction defects like PVC and PVAs? My May 2d echo came back normal, but the ECG still shows PVCs. Should I be worried about this?

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and I really need some guidance here. My dad, who's 57, was recently diagnosed with Calcification of Bicuspid Aortic Valve. The surgeon suggested going with a tissue valve, and we've looked at the upsides and downsides of both tissue and mechanical valves. But I'm still unsure and would love to hear your opinion. What do you think might be the best option for him considering his age and situation?

Question

I'm worried about my dad. He had angioplasty last month, and he's been taking Preva As 150 mg every day. Now he's got a fever. Do you think it's okay to give him paracetamol?
