Question

I'm just trying to understand what the next steps are for my treatment based on my recent test results. I'm a 62-year-old woman and my 2D Echo Report shows Mild LVH and Mild diastolic dysfunction, with an LVEF at rest of 50. Thankfully, there are no regional wall motion abnormalities, and my RV contractile function is adequate. The report also notes no pulmonary hypertension or pericardial effusion, and no intracardiac clot or vegetation. My chest X-ray mentions a mild unfolding of the aorta but no pluroparenchymal abnormality. Should I be worried about any of these findings, and what kind of treatment might be necessary?

Question

I'm a bit confused about the difference between normal chest pain and angina pain. Is angina pain similar to what happens during a heart attack, but it goes away in like 3 or 4 minutes? And should I be worried if I feel pins and needles in my chest that only last for less than a minute?

Question

My mom's having some trouble with hypertension. Her systolic measurement sometimes hits 123, and the diastolic is around 95 and even reaches 98 occasionally. I'm really concerned about why her blood pressure isn't considered normal or stable, especially when it sometimes goes up to 140 over 102. What could be causing these fluctuations?

Question

I've just been told I have an atrial septal defect that's 27mmI found out by chance at age 20. I exercise regularly, like swimming every day for 30 minutes along with doing push-ups and pull-ups. I don't have any symptoms, but I'm curious if I should get this fixed. If so, would it have to be open-heart surgery or is there another less invasive method available?
