I'm really concerned about my heart health right now. My ejection factor is 38, and my doctor recommends I get an angiogram. But to be honest, I'm pretty scared about going through that procedure. Is there any other way to help improve my heart ejection factor? For context, I dont have any bad habits, weigh 68 kg, and am 6 feet tall. Any advice would really help me out.

View allIs there any way to reverse LVDD grade 2 with an MV EA ratio of 1.03 and mild LVH? What kind of steps or treatments could help improve this condition?
To help reverse left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) grade 2 and mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), it is important to focus on lifestyle modifications and medications as per your doctor's recommendation. Some common approaches include: - ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg once daily - Diuretics like Furosemide 40mg once daily - Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. These interventions can help improve heart function and potentially reverse LVDD and LVH. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm a bit concerned about my dadhe's got a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. His reports show no blockage and his echo report is normal, but his blood tests indicate an iron and magnesium deficiency. We've started him on Orofer XT for the iron since his Hb level is 10.3 because of low ferritin. I've seen some folks online saying that magnesium citrate 1000 mg per day and L-Taurine have helped reduce their Afib episodes. Is it okay for my dad to take these supplements too, and if so, for how long should he be on them? Also, he's currently taking Cordarone (Amiodarone), Prolomet 25, and Xarelto 15. We're wondering if he could switch from Amiodarone to Flecanide (Flecarite 50) since we've heard Cordarone can be quite toxic compared to other meds. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Q1. Can my father take magnesium citrate and L-Taurine supplements to help reduce Afib episodes? If yes, for how long? Yes, your father can take magnesium citrate and L-Taurine supplements to help reduce Afib episodes. He can take magnesium citrate 1000 mg per day and L-Taurine supplements as reported by other patients. It is recommended to continue taking these supplements as long as they are providing benefit in reducing Afib episodes. Q2. Can my father switch from Cordarone (amiodarone) to FlecanideFlecarite 50, since Cordarone is very toxic compared to other medicines? Yes, your father can consider switching from Cordarone (amiodarone) to FlecanideFlecarite 50 as an alternative treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. It is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider to discuss the potential benefits and risks of switching medications. The healthcare provider can provide guidance on the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment with FlecanideFlecarite 50 based on your father's individual health condition.

I'm 52 and had bypass surgery back in 2004. Right now, I'm getting chelation treatment for my heart (35EF). I'm not sure if this is the best option for me can you explain whether chelation treatment is really helpful in my case?
Stop this treatment immediately. At present this treatment is not advocated by any professional cardiac society. U may end up having kidney failure. Always get time tested therapies. If y want u can get second opinion by other certified cardiologist
