Question 1

I'm really concerned because my ECG results came back as abnormal and it's showing PVC. Is this something I should be worried about? Would appreciate your insight on this.

Accepted Answer

PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). In most cases, PVCs are harmless and don't require treatment. However, if you are experiencing frequent PVCs or have underlying heart conditions, further evaluation may be needed. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help reduce PVCs if necessary. Dosage can vary depending on individual factors, so consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dose.

I'm a bit worried because I've been taking Rosukem A1075 after getting diagnosed with T2DM in September 2018. The cardiac doctor I visited then suggested this medication for a normal ECG and echo. But I've just got my annual health checkup reports, a...

Accepted Answer

Since you were advised Rosukem A1075 by the cardiologist, it is important to follow their recommendation for your heart health. Rosukem A1075 contains Rosuvastatin 10mg and Aspirin 75mg, which helps in managing cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. As for your diabetologist's advice to continue Rosuvas 5, it contains Rosuvastatin 5mg which also helps in lowering cholesterol. It is important to follow both specialists' advice for optimal management of your conditions. So, you can continue taking Rosukem A1075 as advised by the cardiologist and Rosuvas 5 as advised by the diabetologist for your overall health."

Question 4

I'm really worried about my dad. He's got an artery blockage and has already had an angiography done. I'm stuck trying to figure out whether we should go for angioplasty or bypass surgery. He mentioned something about stents being used in angioplasty...

Accepted Answer

Both angioplasty with stenting and bypass surgery are effective treatments for artery blockages, but the best option depends on the specifics of your father's condition, including the location and severity of the blockages, his overall health, and any other medical issues. Angioplasty with stenting is less invasive and has a shorter recovery time, making it suitable for single or fewer blockages. Bypass surgery, though more invasive with a longer recovery period, might be recommended for multiple or complex blockages and can provide more durable results in certain cases. Consulting with your father's cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon will provide a comprehensive understanding of the best treatment approach tailored to his condition.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing persistent chest pain and symptoms of GERD despite taking Pantop D 40mg once a day. In this case, you can try adding an antacid like **Ranitidine 150mg** twice a day before meals to help with the burning chest pain. Additionally, you can try **Sucralfate** suspension 1-2 teaspoons four times a day to help coat and protect the lining of your stomach. Make sure to continue following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

Question 6

I'm trying to understand what a left anterior hemiblock means when it shows up on an ECG. Should I be worried about it? Is there a need for any kind of treatment, or is it something that won't affect my health too much?

Accepted Answer

Left anterior hemiblock (LAHB) on an ECG indicates an abnormality in the electrical conduction pathway of the heart, specifically affecting the left anterior fascicle of the left bundle branch. While LAHB can be benign in some individuals, it can also be associated with underlying heart conditions such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, or cardiomyopathies. Whether it requires treatment depends on the presence of symptoms and any underlying heart conditions. It's important to consult with your cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the significance of LAHB in your case and to discuss whether any further tests or treatments are necessary.

I'm really concerned because my ECG results came back as abnormal and it's showing PVC. Is this something I should be worried about? Would appreciate your insight on this.
