Hey, I'm really worried about heart blockages and was wondering if there are any medicines or foods that can help reduce them, maybe even by half or some percentage, if I take them regularly?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There are medications that can help reduce heart blockage, such as statins like Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin. These medications help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries. It is important to take these medications as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, incorporating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can also help improve heart health and reduce the progression of heart blockage. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are also important factors in reducing heart blockage.

View allI'm a bit confused and worried after seeing my recent health checkup report. It mentions Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but everything else like chamber dimension, RWMA, and LV systolic function looks normal. The report also notes trivial MR and TR, with no PAH, clot, or vegetation, and my EF is 70. Can you help me understand what Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction really means and if there's anything I should do about it?
