I'm going through my echo report and have a few questions. It mentions normal LV with normal systolic function and no segmental wall motion abnormality, which sounds good, but I'm not quite sure what all that means. Should I be concerned about anything specific? It also says theres no vegetation or LV clot, which is a relief, but could you explain what "mild TR with mild PAH" means? And is a fast heart rate during the test something to be worried about? My EF is 60%, but I'm not sure if that's normal or not. Any insights would be appreciated!

Based on the Echo Report, everything seems to be within normal limits except for the mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). For mild TR and mild PAH, you can take Tablet Sildenafil 20mg once daily to help with the pulmonary hypertension. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allSo, my dad has been having this burning feeling in his feet and they found out its because of a blockage in the artery in his legs. He also has some kidney problems that we didnt know about because hes had high blood pressure for a long time without knowing it. Now theyre suggesting he gets an angiography done for both his leg and chest, and theyve started him on hypertension meds. Hes super active and has been walking for at least 2 hours every day for years without any issues. Do you think going through with the angiography and possibly angioplasty makes sense for someone his age since he doesnt really show any other symptoms?
Considering your father's age and his active lifestyle, it is important to assess the risks and benefits of angiography and angioplasty. These procedures can help in diagnosing and treating blockages in the arteries, which can improve blood flow to the legs and reduce symptoms like burning sensation in the feet. For someone with a history of undiagnosed hypertension and deteriorating kidney function, it is crucial to manage these conditions to prevent further complications. The hypertension medication prescribed will help in controlling blood pressure and protecting the kidneys. In this case, it would be best for your father to follow the advice of his healthcare provider and undergo the recommended angiography. Based on the results of the angiography, further decisions can be made regarding the need for angioplasty or other interventions. It is important to prioritize his cardiovascular health to maintain his active lifestyle and overall well-being. Additionally, it is essential for your father to continue his regular physical activity, like walking, as it is beneficial for his cardiovascular health. Ensuring a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, is key in managing these conditions. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
