I'm really concerned about my wife. She saw an eye surgeon for her cataract surgery, and he suggested she get an ECG done first. After looking at the ECG results, he recommended an ECHO test. The results came back mostly normal, with no regional wall motion abnormality and normal systolic function at 65%. But it did show mild pulmonary arterial hypertension with an RVSP of 35 mmHg. I'm not sure what this means or if we should be worried. Does she need treatment for this? Could you help us understand the situation a bit better?

View allI'm looking over my brother's medical report, and I'm curious about his high sensitive troponin I levelit came back as 0.05. Is this something to worry about? Can you help me understand if this is within a normal range or if there might be cause for concern?
High sensitive troponin I level of 0.05 ngmL is within the normal range. Troponin levels are often used to diagnose heart attacks or other heart-related conditions. In this case, the level of 0.05 ngmL is not concerning and does not indicate any acute heart issues. It is important to consider other factors and symptoms in conjunction with this result for a comprehensive evaluation. If your brother is experiencing any symptoms or concerns, it is recommended to follow up with his healthcare provider for further assessment and guidance.

My dad is 66 and had a CABG around 16 months ago. He's been really diligent with his exercises, simple yoga, and diet as advised by his surgeon. Lately, though, he's been having sudden pains on the left side that extend to his wrist, fingers, chest, upper back, and neck. Using ointment seems to help after a bit, but these pains have become more frequent. The doctor mentioned it might be muscle pain, but since it's been 1.5 years since his surgery, we're getting worried. Can you offer any advice on what might be going on?
It sounds like your dad may be experiencing angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Given his history of CABG surgery and the symptoms you described, it's important to take this seriously. I recommend discussing with his doctor about the possibility of increasing his anti-anginal medication. He may benefit from medications such as Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets to help relieve the chest pain. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions for taking this medication. If the pain persists or worsens, seeking medical attention promptly is crucial.

I had a gastric issue that was resolved with medication, but I recently did a complete blood test. The results showed my hs-CRP level is 9, though my cholesterol levels are normal. I'm really curious about what this means and if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help explain this?
