I'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG report which showed sinus bradycardia and a slight ST elevation in leads V4, V5, and V6. Is this something to be worried about or is it considered normal?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In your ECG report, sinus bradycardia with slight ST elevation in leads V4, V5, and V6 can indicate a possible myocardial injury or ischemia. It is important to further evaluate this finding to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may need to take medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, medications like Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can help in controlling heart rate and blood pressure. It is advisable to follow up with a cardiologist for a more detailed assessment and management plan.

View allI've been having these mild chest pains on my left side, and it's been going on for a while now. I've seen doctors a couple of times and even did an ECG, but everything came back normal. The pain isn't super intense or frequent, but it pops up every couple of days, and its got me a bit worried. Could this be related to my heart, or could there be something else behind it? What kind of tests should I ask for to figure out whats causing it?

What's the deal with moderate left ventricular (LV) function if the LVEF is 45%? My dad had an Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction (IWMI) last week. Any advice on what this means for his heart health and what steps we should be taking?
Moderate LV function means that the left ventricle of the heart is not pumping as effectively as it should be. An LVEF (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction) of 45% indicates that the heart is pumping out 45% of the blood with each heartbeat, which is slightly below the normal range (55-70%). For your father's condition following an IWMI (Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction), it is important to manage his heart health carefully. He may benefit from medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5mg once daily, beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily, and statins like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help improve heart function and prevent further complications. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management are also important for his recovery. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor his heart function and adjust treatment as needed.
