Eggs contains high cholesterol but it doesn't seems to raise cholesterol the way other cholesterol foods do. You may consume them in moderation and can prefer only egg white also as it contains only proteins.

View allI'm really concerned after getting a report that mentions having a borderline with a short PR interval. Is this something that I should be worried about? What steps should I take next?
A borderline short PR interval may indicate a potential conduction abnormality in the heart. It is important to further evaluate this finding. The next steps would typically involve a thorough medical history, physical examination, and additional tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, and possibly a Holter monitor to monitor heart rhythm over a period of time. In terms of medication, if necessary, a doctor may prescribe medications such as Beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help regulate the heart rate and rhythm. However, the specific treatment plan would depend on the underlying cause of the short PR interval and should be determined by a healthcare professional after a comprehensive evaluation.

I'm really worried about my mom who's 62. She recently had some chest pain, and her ECG came out abnormal. We consulted with a cardiologist, and they did a TMT test, which was strongly positive. She's also had an echo test done. Now we've been told she needs to go for a CAG angiogram test. I'm just trying to understand how serious her condition might be. Could there be a severe blockage? What do these tests tell us about her heart health?
Given the information that your mother's TMT (treadmill test) result is strongly positive and she has had chest pain along with an abnormal ECG, it suggests a significant likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD). An angiogram (CAG - coronary angiography) is the next appropriate step as it will provide a detailed view of the coronary arteries to identify the presence, location, and severity of any blockages. This test is crucial for determining the best treatment plan, which may involve medications, angioplasty, or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) depending on the findings. Please follow your cardiologist's recommendations and proceed with the angiogram for a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan.
