Left ventricular collapse is not a common condition. It can be a serious medical issue that may result from conditions such as severe heart failure, myocardial infarction, or cardiogenic shock. The collapse of the left ventricle can lead to decreased cardiac output and potentially life-threatening complications. Treatment typically involves medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. In severe cases, surgical interventions or devices like an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator may be necessary. It is important to follow up regularly with a cardiologist for proper management and monitoring of this condition.

Question

I'm trying to understand something about ECG readings. In a normal person, when you look at the R wave in the V3 and V4 chest leads, is it due to major ventricular depolarization or septal depolarization? I could really use some help figuring this out.

Question

I've been having this chest pain on the left side whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about three months now. I got an X-ray and a CT scan with contrast done, and I've already shown the reports to a pulmonologist three times. He suggested I talk to an orthopedic specialist. I did, but all I got was some painkillers, and they haven't helped at all. Could you please advise me on what might be going on or what I should do next?

Question

I've been noticing that my blood pressure seems to jump around quite a bit. Sometimes it's around 11575, other times it gets up to 12684, and the highest I've seen is 160101. I'm not on any medications for it right now. Is it normal for blood pressure to fluctuate like this, and what might be causing these changes?
