I'm feeling really confused right now. My ECG showed something called inferolateral ischemia, but then both my TMT and 2D echo tests came back normal. I'm not sure what's going on, and it's making me anxious. On top of that, my cholesterol and triglycerides levels are over 240. What could be causing these mixed test results, and what should I consider as the next step for treatment?

View allIs atrial flutter something that can actually be cured? Is catheter ablation the best solution for someone like me? I'm worried because I had mitral valve replacement surgery about six months ago and was doing fine until I got this bad cough. Suddenly, my heart rate shot up to 150 and it just won't come down. Now I've got a clot and I'm on blood thinners. Is there any hope for me or is this really serious?
Atrial flutter can be managed effectively with treatments such as catheter ablation. Catheter ablation is considered one of the best solutions for atrial flutter, especially when medications are not effective or not well tolerated. Atrial flutter may not go away on its own and often requires intervention. Given your history of MVR and the development of a high heart rate along with a clot, it is important to continue with the thinners as prescribed to prevent further complications. It is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. There is hope for you, and the outcome will depend on various factors including the underlying cause of the atrial flutter, your overall health, and how well you respond to treatment. It is important to stay proactive in managing your condition and follow your healthcare provider's recommendations closely.

I'm really worried about my dad, who's 72, because he's been having some issues with his heart not beating regularly. Lately, hes been feeling very weak. His echo cardiography says he has systolic failure, and his chest x-ray shows there's fluid in his chest. I'm not sure if I should be taking him to see a cardiologist or a pulmonologist? What could possibly be going on with him?
