View allI'm kind of confused and a bit worried about my recent ECG results. The cardiologist mentioned something about needing to "correlate clinically" with the results. Could you help me understand what that means? I've got my report here and I'm just trying to figure out what I should be doing next.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 73 years old and his recent 2D echo report showed an LVEF of 50 percent, no MR, no TR, and a paradoxical IVS. How serious is this situation and is there anything we can do to improve it? Should we be thinking about getting more tests done?
My father 73 years old his 2Decho report says LVEF 50 percent, no MR no TR, paradoxical IVS. How critical it and and how it can be improved. Any further investigation required? LVEF of 50% indicates a slightly reduced heart function, which may increase the risk of heart-related issues. The paradoxical IVS refers to an abnormal movement of the interventricular septum during the cardiac cycle. To improve the condition and prevent further complications, medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5mg daily and beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg daily can be prescribed. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and stress management can help. Further investigation may include a stress test or coronary angiography to assess coronary artery disease.

I'm experiencing a really high heart rate, like around 111 to 115, and I'm also dealing with dry eyes and a loss of appetite. Could these be connected to my fast heartbeat? What might be causing all this? Would love some guidance.
A high heart rate, dry eyes, and loss of appetite can be related to various medical conditions. One possible reason for your symptoms could be hyperthyroidism, which is an overactive thyroid gland. In this case, I would recommend you to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg twice a day to help lower your heart rate.
