Question

Hey, I was diagnosed with mild mitral valve regurgitation prolapse back in 2010 and took medication for a couple of years. I had a follow-up in 2014 and was told everything was fine and there was nothing to worry about moving forward. Should I still be going for consultations, or is it fine if I don't? Just thinking about whether I need to keep up with any checks or if it's okay not to.

Question

My uncle's dealing with some heart blockages and is being advised to undergo this new MICS technique heart surgery at Apollo Bangalore by Dr. Sathyaki Nambala. He's a bit uneasy about it since this is a newer technique and he's anxious about the results. I couldn't find many reviews or info online, so I thought I'd check here to see if any doctors could share some insights. What are the risks involved, and is there anything specific he should be concerned about? Should he just stick with this new procedure, or go with the traditional method? Would love any advice or thoughts you might have.

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 56 and they found 4 blockages in his heart. The doctors are saying he needs CABG, which sounds serious. Could you help me understand more about this procedure? His blockages are quite severe with numbers like 997070 and the 4th one at 60.5. What do these numbers mean, and how urgent is it to get this surgery done? I'm trying to wrap my head around what's best for him.

Question

I've been worried because my mom, who had a pacemaker put in about 7-8 years ago due to some heart problems, is dealing with foot pain. I'm considering getting her an electric foot massager to help with that, but I'm concerned because I've heard that people with pacemakers might face issues using such electric equipment. Could using an electric foot massager affect her pacemaker or its battery life? Any advice would be really helpful.
