I'm Venkatesh from Bangalore, and I'm trying to understand a recent 2D echo report for my mom. It mentions a "sclerotic aortic valve." I'm not familiar with this term and am a bit worried. Can you explain what this means for her health?

Question

I'm currently taking Telma 40 in the morning and half a tablet of Ivabradine 5 in the evening, both after meals. I'm wondering if I could possibly take both the Telma and the half Ivabradine together in the morning after breakfast instead of spreading them out. Would that be okay?
