I'm looking for a second opinion on a diagnosis we got. There's an 85% blockage in the main artery. Do you think we should go for stenting right away?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In case of 85% blockage in the main artery, stenting is often recommended to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of complications. The medication used for stenting is Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily, in addition to Aspirin 81mg once daily. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

View allIs it really possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even when the pulmonary artery looks normal and there's no turbulence? I'm just trying to wrap my head around how that can happen. Could there be underlying issues or does it indicate a different problem? I'm a bit concerned and just trying to understand why this might occur.
Yes, it is possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even with normal pulmonary artery anatomy and no turbulence. In such cases, the hypertension may be due to other underlying factors such as inflammation, vasoconstriction, or other vascular abnormalities. Treatment for pulmonary artery hypertension may include medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) or Tadalafil (Adcirca) to help relax the pulmonary arteries and improve blood flow. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional.

I'm really worried about my dad who's 59 and just got told he has a 'Non specific T abnormality' and 'Flat T wave' in his ECG. He's had a 2D echo too, showing a 60 LVEF and no RWMA at rest. Is this something we should be concerned about?

Cholesterol is normal as per Lipid profile and creatinine is normal after test. My height is 6 feet and weight is 105 kg, work from home. BP showing: 14080. Please suggest me a tablet to get control. Based on your information, with a blood pressure reading of 14080, you can consider taking Amlodipine 5mg. It is a commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure.
