Left ventricular hypertrophy or lvh means that your heart muscles are thickened and it can be a congenital problem in some individuals or It can develop overtime because of constant high blood pressure or being overweight.. It is not a serious condition and does not need any additional treatment except monitoring over a period of time and evaluation to find out the underlying cause

Question

Can a TMT test really detect heart blockages? Like, if my TMT test comes back negative, should I be concerned about blockages not being detected? Also, what if I have a blockage that's, say, around 10%would the TMT still show positive in that case? I'm just trying to understand how reliable the TMT is for these things.

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I've been having chest pain for the past week. I got an echo done and it came out normal, but my TMT results showed mild positive for inducible ischemia. My cholesterol numbers are also worrying me - HDL is 34, triglycerides are at 195, and total cholesterol is 209. I don't smoke and I'm trying to follow the diet and lifestyle changes my cardiologist suggested but I'm still feeling worried. I'm 31 years old and my blood pressure is at 14080. Do you think I might need an angiogram?

Question

I'm feeling like there's a weight on my chest, and every so often, it really hurts. I've had COVID twice but I'm on the mend now. I was thinking of getting a chest x-ray, but I noticed there are different kinds, like AP view and lateral view. I'm not sure which one I should go for. Can you help?
