I have a bicuspid aortic valve with moderate to severe AR and a mildly dilated LV but preserved EF of 60. My BP is 140/80. Is it safe for me to undergo gallbladder microsurgery with these heart conditions?

I'm curious about when to take Ecosprin AV75. I've heard it might be better to take it at night before bed, but can it be taken in the morning as well? Is there a significant difference, or does one time work better than the other? I'd love some guidance on this.

it is necessary to take the tablet at bedtime only.

I'm seeing my blood pressure readings at 10766 and 10866is that normal or is it considered low? Do you think I need to do something about it?

Your blood pressure readings of 10766 and 10866 are considered normal, as they fall within the optimal range (less than 12080 mmHg); no immediate action is required, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and regular check-ups with your doctor, will help sustain optimal blood pressure levels.

I'm a bit worried because my PRO BNP test came back abnormal with a value of 800. Can you tell me what steps I should take next? Is there any medication that can help lower it, or are there other treatments I should consider?

A high level of Pro BNP indicates heart failure. To decrease the Pro BNP levels, treatment usually involves medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril at a starting dose of 2.5-5 mg once daily, Beta blockers like Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25-50 mg once daily, and Diuretics like Furosemide at a starting dose of 20-40 mg once daily. Lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and weight management are also important in managing heart failure and lowering Pro BNP levels.
