Question

I'm really worried because my dad has a blockage of 80% in the LAD artery. The doctor recommended angioplasty, but I'm wondering if there are medication options for treating this. What should we do?

Question

I had an AVR with a mechanical valve about 9 years ago and I'm wondering about my life expectancy now. I make sure to go for my yearly checkups, and my last echo showed an EF of 60, LVDD of 50mm, LA 36mm, with PW and IVS at 1.1cm. My INR level is 2.87. Could you give me some insights on these numbers and what they mean for my future?

Question

I'm a bit worried after my full body health check-up. The ECG and stress ECG turned out normal, but the 2D Echo showed I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. And there were some issues in my chest X-ray too. I also have diabetes and I'm on medication for that. Plus, I've got a hernia operation coming up next week. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about? Should I go see a cardiologist and a pulmonologist?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about some ECG results from my recent TMT test. The report came back normal, no signs of ischemia or arrhythmias, but I noticed some changes in the T wave on one of the pages. I brought it up with the cardiologist, and he dismissed it as non-specific. Still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling. I attached a resting ECG I took two hours after the TMT. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything to worry about?
