Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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.

My wife's TMT came back positive, but her echocardiogram and ECG results were normal. Her doctor suggested she get an angiogram. I'm trying to understand if this is the right step at her age, which is 46. Is it usual to go for an angiogram in such cases, or are there other things we should consider first?

The advice for angiogram given by the doctor seems appropriate considering your wife's TMT test being positive. An angiogram can provide detailed information about the blood flow to the heart and help in identifying any blockages in the arteries. Given her age of 46 years and the positive TMT result, it is important to further investigate to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. I would recommend following the doctor's advice and proceeding with the angiogram to assess the heart's condition accurately.

I'm 32 years old and recently found out from my echo scan that I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I'm trying to understand what exactly grade 1 diastolic dysfunction means and what might have caused it. Should I be really worried about this? Could it lead to a heart attack or other heart disease down the road? My blood pressure is 13584 and my pulse is 93. I'm feeling pretty anxious about what all this could mean. Can you help clarify this for me? I've also attached my echo report for reference.

grade 1 diastolic dysfunction normal..salt restricted diet ,dash diet and regular aerobic exercises is advised to the patient.
