Hey, I'm reaching out because my dad, who's 57, is dealing with some serious mitral regurgitation and his LVEF is just 30. The doctors here have mentioned a MITRACLIP surgery as a possible solution. Could you tell me where in India we can get this surgery done? I'm really worried and just want the best care for him.

"Hi, for mitral regurgitation with low LVEF, MITRACLIP surgery is a good option. In India, you can consider getting the MITRACLIP surgery done at hospitals like Apollo Hospitals, Fortis Hospitals, or Medanta - The Medicity. These hospitals have experienced cardiac surgeons who can perform the procedure successfully. It is important to consult with the cardiologist and surgeon at the chosen hospital to discuss the procedure in detail and plan for the surgery. The dosage and specific brand of medications post-surgery will be prescribed by the treating doctor based on your father's condition."

I'm trying to understand what a left anterior hemiblock means when it shows up on an ECG. Should I be worried about it? Is there a need for any kind of treatment, or is it something that won't affect my health too much?

Left anterior hemiblock (LAHB) on an ECG indicates an abnormality in the electrical conduction pathway of the heart, specifically affecting the left anterior fascicle of the left bundle branch. While LAHB can be benign in some individuals, it can also be associated with underlying heart conditions such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, or cardiomyopathies. Whether it requires treatment depends on the presence of symptoms and any underlying heart conditions. It's important to consult with your cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the significance of LAHB in your case and to discuss whether any further tests or treatments are necessary.
