Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad who's 59 and just got told he has a 'Non specific T abnormality' and 'Flat T wave' in his ECG. He's had a 2D echo too, showing a 60 LVEF and no RWMA at rest. Is this something we should be concerned about?

Question 2

I've been tracking my pulse rate and it usually falls between 44 to 60 beats per minute. Sometimes I experience a bit of chest pain but my doctor mentioned it's just gas. My blood pressure ranges between 120 to 140 over 80 to 90. Should I be worried ...

Accepted Answer

Your pulse rate of 44 to 60 beats per minute is considered bradycardia, which is a heart rate that is slower than normal. Since you are also experiencing chest pain, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Aspirin 81mg once a day to prevent any clot formation in the heart. Also, you can take Metoprolol 25mg once a day to help regulate your heart rate. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm trying to understand what "mild left axis deviation" means since it's shown up in my ECG results. I'm feeling a bit worried and unsure about what this indicates. Is there a specific medicine or treatment I should consider? Any advice or insights ...

Accepted Answer

Mild left axis deviation on an ECG indicates a slight deviation in the electrical activity of the heart towards the left side. This can be a normal variant for some individuals, but it can also be associated with certain heart conditions. It is important to correlate this finding with your overall health status and any symptoms you may be experiencing. For mild left axis deviation without any underlying heart condition or symptoms, no specific medication may be necessary. However, if there are other heart issues present, your doctor may prescribe medications such as **Metoprolol** at a dosage of 25-100mg per day to help manage the condition and reduce the risk of complications. Always follow your doctor's recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your heart health.

If the condition persists or worsens visit the cardiologist so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as ECHO, thyroid profile, etc to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly.

Question 5

I'm really worried about a family member who's been diagnosed with severe calcific aortic stenosis. Ive heard about treatments like surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any other options out there, like medication or non-surgical approaches, that ...

Accepted Answer

Severe calcific aortic stenosis typically requires surgical intervention, as medications alone are generally insufficient to treat the condition. The primary treatments include surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), depending on the patient's overall health and suitability for surgery. While medications can help manage symptoms and associated conditions such as heart failure or high blood pressure, they do not address the underlying valve obstruction. Consulting with a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon will provide the best treatment plan tailored to the patient's needs.
