Is Egg good for heart?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without increasing their risk of heart disease. Some studies have shown that this level of egg consumption may even help prevent certain types of stroke.

Eggs can be a part of a heart-healthy diet for a 50-year-old male when consumed in moderation. Here are some key points to consider:
-
Nutritional Benefits:
Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health. -
Cholesterol Concerns:
While eggs contain cholesterol, recent research suggests that for most people, dietary cholesterol has a smaller impact on blood cholesterol levels than previously thought. -
Moderation is Key:
Eating up to one egg per day is generally considered safe for heart health in healthy individuals. -
Individual Health Factors:
If you have existing heart disease, diabetes, or high cholesterol, it's best to consult your doctor for personalized advice. -
Balanced Diet:
Incorporate eggs as part of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.

View allI'm a bit concerned after my recent doctor visit. I had some left shoulder pain and my hands felt a bit numb after traveling, so I went to get checked out. The doctor had me do an ECG and mentioned that the QRS interval was 119ms, along with some other abnormalities, then suggested an echo just to be sure. The echo results seemed alright, showing no PAH or RWAH, and my LV systolic and diastolic function looks fine with an EF of 68. They didn't find any clots or vegetation, and the doctor said my echo is fine, but I'm still worried about the QRS interval on my ECG. Should I be looking deeper into this, or is it nothing too concerning?
The ECG report showing a QRS interval of 119ms may indicate a slight delay in the electrical conduction through the heart's lower chambers. This could be due to various reasons such as conduction abnormalities or certain heart conditions. However, since your screening echo came back normal with no significant findings, it is less likely to be a cause for concern. To alleviate your left shoulder pain and numbness in hands, you can take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can also consider using topical pain relief creams such as diclofenac gel for localized relief. It is always advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management based on your individual health condition.

I was lying down and felt some mild chest pain, so I went to the doctor. They did an ECG and echo, and everything seemed normal, but it showed something about a mild TR Pah and Tr jet at 2.8 with RVSP at 30rap. The doctor said it was fine. A year later, I had another echo, and this time it showed no TR, just PJV at 1.23 msec. I'm not really sure what that means and just want to confirm that there's no PH. The echo report says chamber size and function are normal, so should I be worried about anything?
The results of your echocardiogram show that there is no tricuspid regurgitation (TR) this time, and the pulmonary jet velocity (PJV) is 1.23 msec. This indicates that there is no significant backflow of blood through the tricuspid valve and the blood flow through the pulmonary valve is normal. The right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) of 30 mmHg is also within normal limits, indicating normal pressure in the right side of the heart. Overall, the echo results show normal chamber size and function of your heart. No further treatment is needed at this time based on these results.

I'm really worried about my mom's condition. The doctors have found she has a ventricular septal defect and mentioned that an operation right now is pretty risky. Is there any other treatment option we could consider to help her?
