I'm really concerned about my father's heart condition. His report says the LVEF is 25, which I read somewhere is quite low, and theres mention of severe LV systolic dysfunction. The terms like "Grade mitral regurgitation" and "moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension" caught my attention. Can you help me understand what all this means? Also, what should we be doing next to manage or improve his heart health?

View allI'm experiencing these palpitations alongside some gas. Could this be related to my heart or are the palpitations just caused by the gas? I was wondering if it's necessary to get an ECG. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Palpitations and gas can be caused by various factors, including heart issues and gastrointestinal problems. To address palpitations, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to consider an ECG to assess your heart's electrical activity. For gas relief, you can try over-the-counter medications like Simethicone (Gas-X) to help alleviate symptoms.

My uncle has been advised to undergo MICS technique heart surgery for his heart blockages by Dr Sathyaki Nambala at Apollo Bangalore. He's a bit worried since it's a newer technique and there aren't many reviews online. Is MICS safe compared to conventional heart surgery? What are the risks or specific concerns he should know about before deciding? Would you recommend going ahead with MICS or sticking to the traditional method?
What is the CAG report All will depend on the findings of that plus other diseases he is suffering MICS is minimally invasive cardiac surgery It's a newer technique and includes balloon angioplasty, stenting and minimally invasive cardiac surgery CABG Either of the above is to be chosen depending on CAG findings and other co morbidities
