Question 1

I'm really concerned about some recent findings on my coronary vessels. I've got an 80% lesion in the LAD vessel from the proximal to the mid-long segment, and then a 70% lesion in the distal long segment. Plus, there's a 90% lesion at the ostium of the D1 small vessel. On top of that, my RCA vessel has a total 100% blockage, but it's still somehow filling via bridging collaterals and retrogradely through the left coronary injection. Should I be worried about these percentages and the way my heart is compensating? What kind of treatment might be recommended in this situation?

Accepted Answer

The condition you have described is quite serious and involves multiple blockages in your coronary arteries. To address the blockages, a combination of medications and procedures may be necessary. For the 80% lesion in the ostial portion of the LAD 3 vessel, a stent placement procedure may be considered to improve blood flow. Similarly, for the 70% lesion in the proximal to mid long segment of the LAD 3 vessel, another stent placement or angioplasty may be recommended. The 80% lesion in the distal long segment of the LAD 3 vessel may also require intervention such as stenting. For the D1 small vessel with a 90% lesion, a stent placement or angioplasty may be necessary to restore blood flow. The RCA vessel with a 100% lesion in the mid portion may require more aggressive treatment such as bypass surgery. In the meantime, medications like aspirin, clopidogrel, statins, beta-blockers, and ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is crucial to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Question 2

I'm 32 years old and recently found out from my echo scan that I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I'm trying to understand what exactly grade 1 diastolic dysfunction means and what might have caused it. Should I be really worried about this? Could it lead to a heart attack or other heart disease down the road? My blood pressure is 13584 and my pulse is 93. I'm feeling pretty anxious about what all this could mean. Can you help clarify this for me? I've also attached my echo report for reference.

Accepted Answer

grade 1 diastolic dysfunction normal..salt restricted diet ,dash diet and regular aerobic exercises is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing shortness of breath for the past 20 days, and every time I try to breathe, it feels like there's a lot of pressure on my heart. I'm scared that my breathing might suddenly stop. Could this lead to a heart attack, or maybe it's related to COVID-19? I also feel very anxious and could use a recommendation for a good anxiety pill. I've been doing yoga and meditation daily, but it still feels like something is gripping my heart and stopping my breath. I've been following the treatment plan given to me, but I haven't noticed any improvement yet. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician..

I had an ECG a couple of months ago, and it turned out fine. I'm wondering how often I should have another ECG as part of my routine health check-up. Is there a recommended timeline for this?
