I'm really worried about my relative who had MVR surgery a year ago. Yesterday, he experienced severe abdominal pain and his blood pressure shot up to 190100, but it's back to normal now. His troponin level came back at 0.0527. Could you help me understand what this means for his heart health? Should we be concerned?

Question

I'm really concerned because my blood pressure has shot up to 14492 since it got colder. I'm already on Ivabrad for my heart rate, but I've used Prolomet XL 12.5 in the past as a beta blocker for blood pressure. Can I start taking Prolomet XL 12.5 again while I'm on Ivabrad 5 mg?

Question

I'm a bit confused about the TMT and Echo results for my dad, who's 50. The Echo came back normal with an EF of 60, and the TMT showed good effort tolerance. But there were upsloping ST changes at the peak of the test. The report says it's negative for exercise-induced reversible ischemia. Is it normal to have these upsloping ST changes? Should I be worried about this?
