I'm feeling really worried because my heart pumping seems weak, yet my heart rate is 72 bpm. I also have this severe mitral valve regurgitation. Is something like this normal, or should I be concerned?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A heart rate of 72bpm is within the normal range. However, with severe mitral valve regurgitation and weak heart pumping, it is important to manage your condition. You can take medications like Carvedilol 6.25mg twice daily to help improve heart function and Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to control heart rate. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Furosemide 40mg once daily to reduce fluid buildup. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is essential for monitoring and adjusting your treatment plan.

View allI've just had an angioplasty because of a heart attack, and I'm a bit anxious about when I can start driving my scooter again. Also, Im curious about what kinds of exercise I can safely do now. I used to love swimming before the heart attack, and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to start that up again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
After angioplasty for MI, it is generally recommended to wait at least 1-2 weeks before driving a two-wheeler. As for exercise, you can start with light activities such as walking and gradually increase to moderate intensity exercises like cycling or jogging. Swimming can also be resumed, but it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your individual recovery progress.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had chest pain a week ago and her ECG showed T wave inversion in V4, V5, and V6. The echo also showed rwma. We started her on clopidogrel and nicorandil. Today, both the ECG and echo came back normal. What should we do next?
Since the recent ECG and echo results are normal, it is a positive sign. However, considering the previous findings, it is important to continue monitoring her closely. I would recommend continuing with Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots and Nicorandil to help with chest pain. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management should be followed. Regular follow-up visits with her cardiologist are also important to ensure her heart health is maintained.
