I'm really concerned about this recurring middle chest pain I've been experiencing. I had a coronary angiogram done a while back on March 14, 2014, and everything showed normal coronaries, except for this myocardial bridging of the LAD. Can you help me understand what this means? Is this related to my chest pain, and should I be worried about it? Also, is there a validity period for the angiogram results, or is it something I should get checked again after a certain time?

The validity of your coronary angiogram performed on 14.3.14, which showed normal coronary arteries and myocardial bridging of the LAD, can diminish over time due to factors such as the progression of coronary artery disease, changes in symptoms, and continued risk factors like smoking or high blood pressure. Since the angiogram only provides a snapshot in time, it's important to regularly monitor your heart health, especially if you experience new or worsening chest pain. For the most accurate and up-to-date assessment, please consult your cardiologist, who may recommend repeat testing or other diagnostic procedures based on your current condition. Regular follow-ups are crucial to ensure your heart health is effectively managed.

View allHey, I had a heart attack three months ago and I initially thought it was just a gastric issue, so I didn't go to the hospital right away. I was working normally until I went in for a routine check-up a few days later and they told me I had a heart attack. They did an angioplasty and put a stent in my LAD, and everything seemed to go well. Now, I'm doing a morning walk every day, around 6 km in an hour. I'm a 47-year-old guy and I'm just wondering, when would be a good time for me to go for a stress echo?
Given that you had a heart attack three months ago and have since undergone successful angioplasty with stent placement, its important to follow your cardiologist's advice for follow-up care. Typically, a stress echo is recommended several months after the procedure to evaluate how well your heart is functioning under stress and to ensure that the stent is working effectively. You should consult with your cardiologist to determine the best timing for this test based on your individual recovery and health status. Its great that you are walking daily; continue following your doctor's guidance on physical activity and medication.

Can arrhythmia be cured?
While medications are used to control abnormal heart rhythms, ablation procedures can cure some types of arrhythmia completely. Once treated, whether through ablation or ongoing medications, most patients with a heart rhythm issue can return to their normal activity levels.
