View allI'm dealing with mild diastolic dysfunction, tricuspid regurgitation, and mitral regurgitation. My left ventricular ejection fraction is 55. I'm a little concerned and just wondering how often I should see a cardiologist. Can you tell me more about my current condition? Is it okay for me to do regular activities like climbing stairs? And do I need to change anything about my diet or eating habits?
Having LV diastolic dysfunction, along with TR and MR, all mild, with LVEF of 55 means you have a mild heart condition. You should visit your cardiologist regularly for follow-up appointments to monitor your condition. It is recommended to see your cardiologist at least every 6-12 months or as advised by your doctor. In terms of your present condition, with mild LV diastolic dysfunction, TR, and MR, and an LVEF of 55, you are in a stable condition. You may continue with your normal daily activities, including chores and climbing stairs. However, it is important to avoid excessive physical exertion and follow a heart-healthy diet. For your heart condition, your cardiologist may prescribe medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril or ARBs like Losartan to help manage your blood pressure and reduce the workload on your heart. They may also recommend beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help improve heart function. Additionally, diuretics like Furosemide may be prescribed to reduce fluid buildup in your body. Remember to follow your cardiologist's advice closely and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for proper management of your heart condition.

I've got some concerns about a recent ECG reading. It showed a mild STT change, and my heart rate was at 128. Is this something I should be worried about? Could the tachycardia be causing the STT change?
Mild ST-T changes in an ECG can be non-specific and may not always indicate a serious issue. Yes, tachycardia can cause ST-T changes due to the increased heart rate. A heart rate of 128 in an ECG may be considered tachycardia, which can be a concern depending on the underlying cause and symptoms. To address this, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg to help control the heart rate and reduce the risk of further complications.
