I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 55 and dealing with diabetes and high blood pressure, and he was told he needs to decide about a second open-heart surgery. The first one he had was an off-pump coronary artery bypass using a vein from his leg. He's supposed to have this new surgery by the end of the year. Can you help me understand what kind of risks he might be facing with this surgery?

Question

I'm a 39-year-old guy dealing with high blood pressure, and I've been on telmisartan 40 mg for like five years. Just recently, I found out I have Grade 1 Left Ventricular Hypertrophy. I don't have diabetes but my cholesterol is on the higher side, and I'm taking medication for anxiety too. I'm really stressed about this LVH diagnosis and can't help but wonder about my life expectancy with it. Is this something that's going to affect me in just the next couple of years? I'm from Australia and my appointment with the cardiologist is still two months away, so any insight before then would mean a lot to me.

Question

My dad's experiencing some angina pain, and we went to see a doctor at Sgpgi. They recommended an angiography, and it turns out there's an 80% blockage in each of his arteries. What does this mean for his health, and what should we consider doing next?

Question

I'm a 29-year-old male and I've just got my blood pressure checked and it's 140100. Honestly, I dont feel any symptoms like having high blood pressure, but I thought I would look into it further. I did a lipid profile test as well, and here are the results: total cholesterol is 244, HDL is 54, LDL is 146, VLDL is 44, and triglycerides are 232. Am I in a position where I should consider starting medication for this? I'm kind of worried and I'd appreciate any advice you can give.
