I recently got an ECG and 2D Echo done and the results show acyanotic congenital heart disease with severe valvular PS, mild PR, mild infundibular stenosis, significant RV hypertrophy, mild TR, and a moderately restrictive PDA with LR shunt gradient of 50 mmHg. The report also mentions RV hypertrophy, RA MPA dilation, but normal LV systolic function. Can you explain what this condition means and whether surgery is the only option to treat it? What would be the estimated cost for surgery and is there any chance of managing this with just medication? If I don't get surgery, how long can I expect to live with this condition and are there risks of a heart attack?

Consult a cardiologist with detailed Echo report (both hard copy and cd) This is a congenital malformation in your heart The definitive treatment is surgery Risk of heart attack per say because of this disease doesn't increase many fold but a potential risk of heart failure is always there Consult a cardiologist as advised earlier

View allI'm about 5 feet 3 inches and weigh 70 kg. I've been taking olmetrack 20 mg for the last year, but now my blood pressure is at 13084. I was wondering if I could switch to taking olmighty 20 mg instead, since it's cheaper. Are these two medications different in any way?
Both Olmetrack 20 mg and Olmighty 20 mg contain the same active ingredient, which is olmesartan. They belong to the same class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and are used to treat high blood pressure. You can switch from Olmetrack 20 mg to Olmighty 20 mg as they are equivalent in terms of effectiveness. The recommended dosage for Olmighty 20 mg would be the same as Olmetrack 20 mg, which is usually once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly after switching to ensure that it remains controlled. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, please consult your healthcare provider.

I'm having some neck and shoulder pain and got an ECG done. The results mentioned something called "middling left axis deviation." Can you explain what this might mean?
Due to neck and shoulders pain, the ECG showing middling left axis deviation may indicate a possible heart condition. It is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief.

I'm a bit worried after my recent health check-up. It showed something about ventricular preexcitation. I'm not really sure what that means and what I should be doing next. Can you help me understand this better and advise on what steps I should take?
In your case of ventricular preexcitation, the main concern is the risk of developing fast heart rhythms. To manage this condition, you can take medications such as Flecainide or Propafenone to help regulate your heart's rhythm. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Additionally, you may need to undergo further testing or procedures to assess the severity of the preexcitation and determine the best course of action. Regular follow-ups with a cardiologist are essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
