I'm a bit concerned about my heart health. In March, my cardiologist recommended a 2D echo and TMT test. I've started taking Prolomet R50 and Deplatt A 75 as prescribed. I'm just wondering, does it seem like we're on the right track with the treatment plan?

Hey, I'm really concerned about my mother-in-law. She had a heart attack yesterday and she's in the hospital being watched by the doctors. They've done an ECG but haven't done angiography or an Echo yet. Is angiography absolutely necessary after a heart attack? If it is, why might the doctors be taking so long to do it? I'm not sure how urgent this procedure isshouldn't it be done quickly after the heart attack? She's stable for now, she can talk, but she's experiencing some pain in her back. I tried asking one of the doctors about the angiography and ended up getting yelled at, which has left me feeling frustrated and worried about what's happening. Is delaying angiography risky? Should we consider moving her to a different hospital?
It is important to understand the reasons behind the delay in performing angiography in your mother-in-law's case. Angiography is typically recommended to assess the extent of blockages in the coronary arteries following a heart attack. While it is an important diagnostic tool, the timing of angiography depends on various factors such as the patient's stability, overall condition, and the presence of any complications. In cases where the patient is stable and there are no urgent indications for immediate angiography, doctors may opt for a conservative approach to allow for stabilization and further assessment. The decision to delay angiography may also be influenced by the availability of resources, the presence of other medical conditions, and the overall clinical judgment of the healthcare team. It is essential to trust the expertise of the medical team caring for your mother-in-law and to have open communication with them regarding any concerns or questions you may have. If you are unsure about the reasons for the delay or if you have specific concerns about the timing of angiography, it is important to discuss these issues with the treating physicians in a respectful and collaborative manner. As for the risk of delaying angiography, while prompt intervention is generally recommended in cases of acute coronary syndrome, a short delay in stable patients may not necessarily lead to adverse outcomes. However, it is crucial to follow the guidance of the medical team and to ensure that appropriate monitoring and management are in place during this period. Moving the patient to another hospital should be considered only after careful evaluation of the reasons for the delay, the expertise of the current healthcare team, and the resources available at the alternative facility. It is important to weigh the potential benefits and risks of transferring the patient and to make an informed decision in consultation with the treating physicians. Overall, it is essential to trust the medical team's judgment, maintain open communication, and work together towards the best possible care for your mother-in-law during this critical time.

I'm a footballer and have been experiencing mild pain in my chest and back occasionally. All tests including ECG and echo came back normal when they were done in July, but the pain hasn't really stopped and sticks around for a while. Should I consider repeating these tests? How regularly do they need to be done for someone with my level of physical activity?
Since you are experiencing mild pain in your chest and back, especially during physical activity as a footballer, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. Considering your active lifestyle, it is recommended to repeat the ECG and echo tests annually to ensure there are no changes in your heart function. This regular monitoring will help in early detection of any potential issues and ensure your heart is healthy enough to support your extensive training.
