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?

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.

My 60-year-old mom has a blockage in her main heart artery 80% blocked. We're confused about the best treatment option should we go for bypass surgery, ECP/EECP, or try those 20 injections the doctor mentioned? They say the injections can clear 50% for sure, and with walking and managing cholesterol, maybe another 30%. What would you suggest is the safest and most effective choice for her?
