I'm really worried about this LAD thing showing up on my ECG. I don't have any symptoms, and my echo came back normal, so I'm confused about why it's happening. Should I be concerned about how this might impact my life span?

if your ECG shows LAD (Left Anterior Descending) without any symptoms and your echo is normal, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. LAD is a coronary artery that supplies blood to the front part of the heart. In some cases, an ECG may show variations that are not clinically significant. However, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. To ensure your heart health and longevity, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent clot formation in the arteries. Additionally, you can discuss with your doctor about starting a statin medication like atorvastatin (10-20mg) to control cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking are also important for maintaining a healthy heart. If you have any concerns or experience any symptoms in the future, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking at my ECG report which mentions I've got LVH and arrhythmia. I've been feeling quite tired whenever I climb stairs. Could you help me understand what this means?
Based on the information you provided, it seems like you have left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and arrhythmia as mentioned in your ECG report. These conditions can indeed cause symptoms such as fatigue, especially during physical exertion like climbing stairs. To manage these conditions, you may be prescribed medications such as Atenolol (50mg) for arrhythmia and Lisinopril (10mg) for LVH. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
