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.

View allI'm Rohit, and I'm from Delhi. Back in December, I had some chest pain and got an ECG done. The doctors thought it might be type 1 Brugada morphology. I've since done a bunch of tests like ECG, ECHO, TMT, CT Angiography, and a 24-hour holter test, all of which came back negative. The doctor said it's asymptomatic since I don't have ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, a family history of sudden cardiac death in a close relative under 45, or anything like that. Now, I'm planning to get married and just want to be sure about the Brugada syndrome diagnosis. Do you think it's a good idea for me to take a Flecainide or Ajmaline challenge test to confirm whether I have Brugada syndrome? Also, could you recommend any hospitals in India, especially near New Delhi, where I could get this test done? Would appreciate any info you have!
Yes, you can undergo a FlecainideAjmaline challenge test to confirm the presence of Brugada syndrome. This test is commonly used to unmask the Brugada ECG pattern in individuals suspected of having the syndrome. In India, you can consider getting this test done at reputed hospitals like AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) in New Delhi, or at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Saket, New Delhi. It is important to undergo this test under the supervision of a cardiologist experienced in managing Brugada syndrome, as the test involves administration of a sodium channel blocker (Flecainide or Ajmaline) which can induce changes in the ECG pattern characteristic of Brugada syndrome. This test should only be performed in a hospital setting with facilities for managing any potential complications that may arise during the test. Before proceeding with the FlecainideAjmaline challenge test, it is advisable to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the test with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision.

I've been dealing with sinus bradycardia for about 56 months now, and my heart rate is usually around 55 bpm. My doctor suggested I take Orcibest 10mg for it. I'm really wondering if that's actually going to help me. Do you think it's the right medication for my situation?
yes continue same treatment.

I've been dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia since 2012 and it's been pretty frustrating. I've done all sorts of tests and nothing seems to be working out. It's especially annoying with the tachycardia because whenever I start on medication, it works for a bit, then just stops being effective after a while. Right now, I'm taking a mix of meds including metoprolol 150mg (50mg three times a day), ntp 25mg, prazosin 5mg, diltiazem 90 Sr, cilnidipine 10mg, and losartan 50mg among others. This whole situation is starting to feel a bit hopeless. I'm curious if there's anything else I should be trying, or if there's some reason these meds lose effectiveness so quickly. Any insight you could give would be really appreciated.
