After reviewing my mother-in-law's recent ECG, it shows something called Concentric LVH with Diastolic dysfunction Type 1. She's 54 years old, and I'm really concerned about whether this is something serious. Can this condition be treated with medication, or is heart surgery necessary? Looking for some guidance here.

View allI'm having this squeezing pain in my chest that's been going on for a couple of days now. It gets worse when I take a deep breath. Any idea what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please take one tablet and chew it for faster absorption. Remember to seek urgent medical help for further evaluation and treatment.

Could you help me understand the difference between ROSUVAS CV 10 and ROSUVAS CV 20? I'm wondering if it would be okay to take half a tablet of ROSUVAS CV 20 instead of a full tablet of ROSUVAS CV 10 each day?
ROSUVAS CV 10 and ROSUVAS CV 20 both contain Rosuvastatin and Clopidogrel. The difference lies in the strength of the active ingredients. ROSUVAS CV 10 contains 10mg of Rosuvastatin and 75mg of Clopidogrel, while ROSUVAS CV 20 contains 20mg of Rosuvastatin and 75mg of Clopidogrel. Taking half a tablet of ROSUVAS CV 20 (which contains 20mg of Rosuvastatin) is not equivalent to taking one tablet of ROSUVAS CV 10 (which contains 10mg of Rosuvastatin). It is important to follow the prescribed dosage as recommended by your healthcare provider. If you have any concerns about your medication regimen, please consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm a 54-year-old woman and recently had an episode of atrial fibrillation that corrected itself. Now my echocardiogram shows I have a mild leaky aortic valve with some regurgitation. Should I be worried about this? How serious is it really?
Mild aortic valve regurgitation is generally not a cause for concern and may not require treatment. However, it is important to monitor it regularly to ensure it does not worsen over time. In some cases, medication such as ACE inhibitors or ARBs may be prescribed to help manage symptoms. It is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
