I'm a bit concerned about my recent stress test result which showed mildly positive for provcable myocardial ischaemia. I'm not fully sure what this means and I'm worried about what it might mean for my heart health. Could you help me understand this a bit better and maybe suggest what preventive or corrective steps I should be looking into? I just want to make sure I'm taking care of myself in the best way possible.

Stress test showing "Mildly Positive for Provicable Myocardial Ischaemia" indicates a potential issue with blood flow to the heart during physical activity. To address this, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management. Additionally, medication therapy may be necessary. You can consider starting with a low-dose aspirin regimen for blood thinning and a statin medication like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really concerned about my cholesterol levels. My recent test showed a level of 243. Is this considered normal or should I be worried about it being too high? What does this mean for my health?
Your cholesterol level of 243 is considered high. To help lower your cholesterol, you can start taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise can also be beneficial in managing your cholesterol levels.

I've had an Acute MI back in January 2019, and they did angioplasty within two days of the attack. Right now, I'm taking Vymada 59, Ecosprin 75, Brilinta 90, Eptus T 2510, Atocor 40, and Seloken XL 50. Everything's been mostly fine, but I do sometimes get breathless, have palpitations, feel dizzy, and even experience less alertness. I'm really curious about a few things: - What's the likelihood that my ejection fraction will increase? - How long can I expect to live with my condition and current treatment? - Are there any known long-term side effects of these medications on other parts of the body, and how can I minimize any negative effects? - My doctor mentioned considering an AICD. Would that help improve my ejection fraction? - What are some potential downsides to getting an AICD?

I'm really concerned about my dad's recent medical tests. His ECG showed something about an aVF T Wave abnormality, but then he got a 2D echo, and it came back normal. I'm just trying to understand why one test would show something abnormal and the other wouldn't. Could this mean something serious?
cause is lack of electrical impulse to the heart and lack of blood supply leading to sudden collaose and dizziness.Patient needs cardioversion or a defibrilator as a immediate treatment.
