I'm really worried about my husband. He's been on amlopres 5 for his blood pressure for about four years, and it's been normal for a while now. Do you think it's okay for him to stop taking it? Also, he's been taking tonac 5 for his cholesterol, which is at the borderline. Does he need to take that every day? Could you please advise?

Hey, I'm reaching out because my dad, who's 57, is dealing with some serious mitral regurgitation and his LVEF is just 30. The doctors here have mentioned a MITRACLIP surgery as a possible solution. Could you tell me where in India we can get this surgery done? I'm really worried and just want the best care for him.

"Hi, for mitral regurgitation with low LVEF, MITRACLIP surgery is a good option. In India, you can consider getting the MITRACLIP surgery done at hospitals like Apollo Hospitals, Fortis Hospitals, or Medanta - The Medicity. These hospitals have experienced cardiac surgeons who can perform the procedure successfully. It is important to consult with the cardiologist and surgeon at the chosen hospital to discuss the procedure in detail and plan for the surgery. The dosage and specific brand of medications post-surgery will be prescribed by the treating doctor based on your father's condition."

I'm just trying to understand what the next steps are for my treatment based on my recent test results. I'm a 62-year-old woman and my 2D Echo Report shows Mild LVH and Mild diastolic dysfunction, with an LVEF at rest of 50. Thankfully, there are no regional wall motion abnormalities, and my RV contractile function is adequate. The report also notes no pulmonary hypertension or pericardial effusion, and no intracardiac clot or vegetation. My chest X-ray mentions a mild unfolding of the aorta but no pluroparenchymal abnormality. Should I be worried about any of these findings, and what kind of treatment might be necessary?
