View allI just got my ECG report back, and it says "sinus rhythm with marked sinus arrhythmia." Should I be concerned about this? Do I need to see a specialist or get a further consultation? How serious could this be?
Sinus rhythm with marked sinus arrhythmia is a common finding in ECG reports and is usually not a cause for concern. It typically does not require any specific treatment unless it is causing symptoms such as dizziness or fainting. In most cases, it does not indicate a serious underlying heart condition. If you are not experiencing any symptoms, no further consultation is necessary.

I'm 22 years old and my weight is 112. I recently had an ECG done because I was feeling anxious, and it shows PACs with sinus rhythm. I'm really worried about what this means. Can you help me understand if everything's okay with my ECG?
Premature Atrial Contractions (PACs) with a sinus rhythm can be a common finding and are often benign, especially in younger individuals. They can occur due to stress, anxiety, caffeine, or other stimulants. Given that you were feeling anxiety at the time of the ECG, it is possible that this contributed to the PACs. However, it's important to discuss these findings with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues and to get personalized advice. They may recommend further monitoring or lifestyle adjustments to help manage your symptoms.

I'm really concerned about my mom. She had a heart attack at the end of October and initially had some anginal pain, but the meds seemed to help for a couple of months. After an angiography, her doctor found an 85% blockage in the LCX OM artery and decided to do an angioplasty. I was hoping that would improve things, but a month later, her LVEF dropped from 45 to 32. Before the angioplasty, her heart was stable, and the dimensions of the left atrium and ventricle seemed normal, but now they're dilated. I was expecting her to get better after the angioplasty and I'm really worried. It's just me and my mom, and I need some guidance on what could be happening. Can you help?
The drop in LVEF after angioplasty may be due to various factors such as the extent of the heart muscle damage from the heart attack, the response to the stent placement, or potential complications post-procedure. To help improve her heart function and prevent further deterioration, her doctor may consider adding medications like Carvedilol (Coreg) to help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. Additionally, medications like Lisinopril (Zestril) may be prescribed to help reduce the risk of future heart-related events. It's important for your mother to follow up regularly with her cardiologist for monitoring her heart function and adjusting her treatment plan as needed. Encouraging her to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management can also support her heart health. Stay positive and supportive for your mother during this challenging time
