I'm really worried about my dad, who's 72, because he's been having some issues with his heart not beating regularly. Lately, hes been feeling very weak. His echo cardiography says he has systolic failure, and his chest x-ray shows there's fluid in his chest. I'm not sure if I should be taking him to see a cardiologist or a pulmonologist? What could possibly be going on with him?

View allMy aunt had bypass surgery and is on Acitrom 2mg. The doctor warned that mixing other meds with Acitrom could cause serious side effects. Now another doctor prescribed Amifru 40mg for her leg pain. Will there be any issues if she takes both together?

I'm just wondering if my ejection fraction being 54 is something I should be worried about. I'm 30 years old, male, and I usually have low blood pressure. Does this mean I'm at risk for heart failure?
yes cardiac markers and angiogram is advised.

I'm a bit worried because I did a routine ECG and it mentioned Normal Sinus Rhythm with a Right Bundle Branch Block and labeled it as an abnormal ECG. What does that mean? Should I be concerned about the Right Bundle Branch Block? Is it something serious?
I can explain what these findings mean. A Normal Sinus Rhythm means your heart's basic electrical pattern is normal, with impulses starting in the right place (the sinus node). Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) is a fairly common condition where there's a delay in the electrical signal as it travels to the right side of your heart. While the ECG is marked as "abnormal" due to the RBBB, this finding can be completely benign in many people, especially if you have no symptoms. However, since I can't see your actual ECG and don't know your medical history, it would be best to discuss these results with your healthcare provider. They can properly interpret the findings in the context of your overall health.
