I'm looking at the results from a recent heart evaluation, and I'm a bit concerned. It mentions "Concentric LVH, Mild MR, Trivial TR, normal pasp, No pericardial effusion, LVEF 60, No RWMA, Normal LV function," and my blood pressure reading was 210110. Could you help me understand what all this means for my heart health? I'm especially worried about the high blood pressure and terms like "Concentric LVH" and "LVEF 60." What should I be doing or asking my doctor about these findings?

The findings suggest concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and trivial tricuspid regurgitation (TR). There is no pericardial effusion, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is normal at 60%. There are no regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) indicating normal left ventricular function. The blood pressure is elevated at 210110 mmHg. You may consider starting antihypertensive medication to help lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. A combination of medications such as Amlodipine 5mg and Lisinopril 10mg can be prescribed to help manage your blood pressure effectively. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment as needed.

I'm Aryan, age 24, and I've noticed that my heart rate goes up after I eat, usually below 90. Normally, my resting heart rate is between 65 and 72, but it climbs to 90 post-meal. I've had both an ECG and an echo, and everything turned out normal, but I'm still pretty anxious about it. Do you think I should see a gastroenterologist?

A heart rate increase after a meal, especially up to around 90 beats per minute, can be normal as your body works to digest food. Given that your ECG and echo are normal, it is less likely to be a heart-related issue. If you are experiencing significant anxiety about this, or if you have other gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, discomfort, or indigestion, it might be helpful to consult a gastroenterologist. They can evaluate if there's a digestive-related cause for your symptoms and provide reassurance or treatment as needed.
