I'm really concerned about my mom. She's got diabetes and high BP, and her recent echocardiography test had some results that are making me anxious. Her exercise duration was 9.51 minutes, and her max heart rate hit 152 bpm, which is 88% of the target heart rate of 172 bpm. Her max BP was 16680 mmHg, and she reached a max workload of 11.14 METS. The stress test came back positive for RMI. The doctors are suggesting an angiography test. I'm really worried. Is everything okay, or should I be more concerned?

Based on the results of the stress test showing a positive for reversible myocardial ischemia (RMI) and the recommendation for an angiography test, it indicates that there may be reduced blood flow to the heart muscle during physical activity. This could be a sign of underlying coronary artery disease. To address this issue, your mother may need to undergo angiography to further evaluate the blood flow in her coronary arteries. Depending on the findings of the angiography, the doctors will be able to determine the best course of treatment, which may include medications such as aspirin, statins, and beta-blockers to manage her condition and reduce the risk of complications. It is important to follow the advice of the medical professionals and proceed with the recommended tests and treatments to ensure the best possible outcome for your mother's heart health.

View allMy mom's in the hospital with what's been diagnosed as an MUI heart attack. The doc's saying there's two blockages: one in the LAD that's 80% and another in the LCX at 99%. They've recommended doing angioplasty twicefirst for the LCX, then for the LAD. Is it really necessary to go through the procedure twice? Would love some advice on this.
In cases where multiple coronary arteries have significant blockages, it is not uncommon for doctors to perform angioplasty on separate occasions to address each blockage individually. This approach allows for better management of the procedure and reduces the risk of complications. It is important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider in this situation. The doctor may recommend starting with the LCX artery due to the higher percentage of blockage before proceeding to the LAD artery. The specific medications and dosages will be determined by the healthcare team based on your mother's individual condition.

I've been dealing with a higher heart rate for about 45 days now, and it's really starting to make me feel nervous and cause chest pain. This actually happened to me about two years ago as well, and back then I did all the tests like ECG and 2D ECHO but they didn't find anything wrong. Now that it's happening again, I'm really concerned. Can you suggest what might be causing this or how I should treat it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for Propranolol in such cases is 10-40mg, taken 2-3 times a day as needed to control heart rate and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
