Can we avoid going through angioplasty even though there are two clots in the heart? The patient seems fine, so I'm wondering if we could just start rehab without surgery.

Angioplasty may be necessary to treat the clotting in the heart to prevent any potential complications. However, if the patient is stable and asymptomatic, a conservative approach can be considered. It is important to closely monitor the patient's condition and follow a strict medication regimen. Rehabilitation can be started under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Medications such as antiplatelets (e.g. Clopidogrel) and anticoagulants (e.g. Warfarin) may be prescribed to manage the clotting. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to assess the need for any further interventions.

Question

I've been experiencing some chest tightness on and off for the past 1.5 years. It'll usually happen and last for about 2 minutes, making it hard to breathe or move my upper body. Recently, I woke up in the middle of the night to get some water and felt the same tightness with a slight pain in my chest and heart. I went to a cardiologist and had an ECG and a 2D echo test, but they both came back normal. The doctor advised me to rest, and I did, but the chest tightness keeps happening. Why is this still going on? Could there be another cause, and should I see someone else for this? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

Question

I'm experiencing really bad pain in my right chest and arm for the past three days. I missed taking my Stamlo tablets around the time the pain started. Usually, I take Rantax and Stamlo regularly. Could missing my medication be causing this pain, or should I be worried about something else?

Question

Can concentric left ventricular hypertrophy be reversed, and what kind of medication would be effective for it? I'm also wondering if it's okay to keep playing badminton with this condition. And what should I look for in echocardiography results to know if I have LVH?
