I just came across the term "borderline short PR interval" in my medical report, and I'm really curious about what it actually means. Is it something that I should be worried about? What could be causing it, and are there any specific treatments for it? I'm trying to understand if there are any risks involved and if I need to take any precautions. Would love some insight!

View allI've just been told I have an atrial septal defect that's 27mmI found out by chance at age 20. I exercise regularly, like swimming every day for 30 minutes along with doing push-ups and pull-ups. I don't have any symptoms, but I'm curious if I should get this fixed. If so, would it have to be open-heart surgery or is there another less invasive method available?
Based on the size of the atrial septal defect and your age, closure may be recommended to prevent any potential complications in the future. One common method for closing an atrial septal defect is through a minimally invasive procedure called transcatheter closure, which does not require open heart surgery. However, the decision on whether to close the defect and the choice of procedure should be discussed with a cardiologist who can evaluate your specific case in detail.

I'm trying to make sense of some health concerns and could use a bit of guidance. I recently had an abnormal ECG that showed RBBB with sinus tachycardia, and my CT angiogram revealed 0 calcium deposits. But I'm still feeling some discomfort in my chest and experiencing breathlessness. Could I still have some kind of heart problem even with these results?
1) Despite the absence of calcium deposits on the CT angiogram, it is still possible to have a cardiovascular issue. Given your symptoms and abnormal ECG findings, further evaluation is necessary. I recommend starting treatment with a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the sinus tachycardia and chest discomfort. 2) The chest discomfort and breathlessness you are experiencing may be related to your cardiac condition. In addition to the beta-blocker, you can also take Aspirin (81mg) daily to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. However, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive assessment and management plan.
