Once a stent is placed, it isn‚Äôt usually removed; bypass is only considered if stent fails or blockage recurs.

Question

I've been told I have mild left ventricular hypertrophy after a 2D echo test. Is this something that can be reversed if I manage to keep my blood pressure around 12080?

I'm a 28-year-old female, and in my recent blood test, my high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level came back really high at 9.95. I'm worried because I know that's way above the normal range. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about?

Question

My doctor told me to get some tests done before my gallstone surgery I have an 8.9mm stone with cholesterolosis. I did an ECG, chest X-ray, and FBS. The X-ray is normal, and FBS is fine too, but my CBC shows slightly high eosinophils. The ECG report says sinus tachycardia with old inferior wall what does that mean? I also have anxiety, so I'm a bit worried about the ECG findings. Can you explain?
