I'm a 43-year-old guy, and I've been dealing with some chest pain, so I had an echocardiogram done. They found grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. My blood pressure's been a bit off too; usually, the systolic pressure is between 120 and 126, but the diastolic is always around 90 to 96. I've also been taking Roseday 10mg for a few months since my LDL cholesterol was slightly above the borderline. I'm really curious if I should be on any medication for my blood pressure and if I should be concerned about this diastolic dysfunction thing. Does it get worse over time?

Consider medication for high diastolic BP, especially since its consistently elevated. Continue your current medication (Roseday) for cholesterol management, but ensure your BP is addressed as well. Be proactive about lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise, and stress management. Regularly monitor your heart function and consult your cardiologist for any necessary adjustments.

View allI've been feeling some tightness in my chest lately and it's making me a bit anxious, especially since I'm about to start a new job soon. I recently got an ECG done, and it mentions "LARGED PTFv1" which has me worried. My blood pressure was within normal range over the past couple of months, usually around 12080 or 12090, and my echo from last year was fine. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I took an ECG and 2D Echo test today and got some numbers that are worrying me a bit. My EDV is 83ml, ESV is 28ml, and SV is 55ml, which apparently are below normal. Also, my IVSs ivsd LVPWD measurements were on the higher end of normal limits. Is this something I should be concerned about?
The values of EDV (End-Diastolic Volume), ESV (End-Systolic Volume), and SV (Stroke Volume) from your 2D Echo test indicate that your heart's pumping function may be below normal. The IVSs (Interventricular Septum thickness in systole), IVSd (Interventricular Septum thickness in diastole), and LVPWD (Left Ventricular Posterior Wall thickness in diastole) being on the higher end of normal limits may suggest some thickening of the heart walls. Based on these findings, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. Depending on the underlying cause, they may recommend medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril or Beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help improve your heart function. The dosage will vary based on your individual condition, so please consult your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

Can ECG detect heart problems?
An ECG may reveal abnormalities in heart rhythm, signs of blocked arteries or damage from a previous heart attack, or an enlarged heart.
