I'm really worried after seeing my father's recent echo report. It mentioned mild concentric LV hypertrophy and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. His LVEF is at 75, which I think is good? But then there are terms like MV, AE, AV normal, and TDI EE 10.18, and I'm not sure what all that means. Can you help me understand the report and what it means for his heart health?

Question

I'm really worried about my incomplete RBBB turning into a complete RBBB in the future. Are there treatments like an angiogram or angioplasty that can help prevent this from happening? Is there any way to make my RBBB go back to normal, like it was before, so there's no block at all?

Question

I'm trying to understand what a zero calcium score really means for my heart health. My CT scan showed a score of zero, and my doctor mentioned that I'll need another scan in 10 years. He ordered some blood tests for cholesterol and Hs-CRP, which he said were good, and mentioned there's no hard plaques and a very low risk of soft plaques since there's no sugar, cholesterol, or inflammation. What does this say about my risk for a heart attack? And can a CT scan show more about my coronary arteries besides just looking for calcium deposits?
