I recently had a heart attack and my LVEF is only 26. The angiography shows 100% blockage in my LAD and 80% in another artery. One doctor recommends CABG while another suggests ICD implantation. Is it safe to undergo surgery with such a low LVEF? I'm really confused about which option is better for my condition.

View allI'm really worried because my HSCRP levels are high, and I'm taking vaso. What kind of risks should I be aware of, and who should I talk to about this?
High levels of hs-CRP (C-reactive protein) indicate inflammation in the body, which can be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Vaso refers to vasculitis, which is inflammation of the blood vessels. It is important to manage these conditions to reduce the risk of complications. You should consult with a Rheumatologist for the vasculitis and a Cardiologist for the high hs-CRP levels. The Rheumatologist may prescribe medications such as Prednisone for vasculitis, while the Cardiologist may recommend medications like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol and reduce inflammation in the blood vessels.

I'm really concerned about my health right now. My ECG showed sinus arrhythmia, but my other tests like the 2D echo and blood work came back normal. I have some heart blocks, but I've been trying to manage them with diet control. The issue is, I feel breathless whenever I walk, even though I don't have any other symptoms. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take next?
Sinus arrhythmia is a common condition where the heart's rhythm varies with breathing. Since your 2D echo and blood tests are normal, it's a good sign. For managing heart blocks and breathlessness, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. This will help in controlling your heart rate and symptoms. Additionally, continue with your diet control and regular exercise routine. If breathlessness persists, you can use a bronchodilator like Salbutamol inhaler as needed.

I'm trying to make sense of my recent test results and I'm a bit worried. It mentioned "borderline t abnormalities" and "inferior leads," with something about "tSt elevation" possibly being part of a normal repolarization pattern. I'm diabetic, and these terms have me a little on edge. Could you shed some light on what all this means and if it's something I should be concerned about?
diagnosis is inferior wall myocardial infarction, immediate cardiologist intervention is required.
