I'm really worried about my heart's LVEF, which is at 34%. I'm 48 years old and not dealing with sugar, blood pressure, or obesity. I'm trying to understand what I can do for treatment and how this might impact how long I can live. Can you provide some guidance on this?

With an LVEF of 34%, it is important to focus on medications that can help improve heart function. One common medication used is Carvedilol, which is a beta-blocker. The recommended dosage for Carvedilol in this case would be 6.25mg to 25mg twice daily. Additionally, an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril can also be beneficial. The typical dosage for Lisinopril would be 5mg to 40mg once daily. It is difficult to predict an exact survival time as it depends on various factors such as overall health, adherence to treatment, and lifestyle choices. However, with proper medical management and lifestyle modifications, individuals with an LVEF of 34% can live for many years. Regular follow-ups with a cardiologist are essential to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.

View allBeen dealing with heart palpitations for about 3 weeks now and it's starting to worry me a bit. I'm taking hypertension meds and Prozac at 10mg. I've had these palpitations before, around 2 weeks, but they went away and my doctor said everything was fine with my heart then. Any thoughts on what might be going on or if there's something else I should consider? Should I be concerned this time?

I'm dealing with Rheumatoid Arthritis and I'm on methotrexate. Recently, I've been experiencing heart palpitations, like up to 12 times a minute, mostly in the evening, but now it's happening more often. My heart rate's been an average of 107, but right now it's at 91 bpm. I've got an appointment on Wednesday at the heart hospital to get things checked out. But I'm really curious about when this stuff would be considered an emergency. It's making me feel pretty uncomfortable. Any advice?
It is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If you experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or dizziness along with the heart palpitations, it could be a sign of a more serious issue and would be considered an emergency. Since you are already scheduled for an appointment at the heart hospital on Wednesday, it is best to discuss your symptoms with the healthcare provider there. They will be able to evaluate your condition and provide appropriate guidance.
