I'm really worried about my incomplete RBBB turning into a complete RBBB in the future. Are there treatments like an angiogram or angioplasty that can help prevent this from happening? Is there any way to make my RBBB go back to normal, like it was before, so there's no block at all?

Understanding Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB)
- Incomplete RBBB: A condition where electrical impulses are delayed in the right bundle branch of the heart. It is often benign and may not require treatment.
Causes and Risks of Progression to Complete RBBB
- Progression Factors: Underlying heart conditions like hypertension or coronary artery disease can contribute to progression.
Diagnostic Evaluation
- Cardiac Evaluation: Essential tests include ECG and echocardiogram.
- Angiogram: Considered if coronary artery disease is suspected.
Treatment and Management Options
- General Approach: Focus on monitoring and managing any underlying conditions.
- Angioplasty: Used for coronary artery disease, not directly for RBBB.
- Medications and Lifestyle: Support heart health through prescribed medications and lifestyle changes.
Possibility of Reversal of Incomplete RBBB
- Reversal: Often does not revert completely. Focus on controlling contributing factors to prevent progression.
When to Consult a Cardiologist
- Specialist Evaluation: Important for personalized advice and follow-up.
Summary and Reassurance
- Reassurance: Incomplete RBBB is generally benign. Regular check-ups and a heart-healthy lifestyle are crucial.

View allI'm experiencing breathlessness when I exert myself and my heart rate seems really high. The recent echo shows mild TR, mild PAHRVSP at 45 mmHg, and a mild MR jet area of 2.5 sqcm, with tachycardia at 121 bpm. My hemoglobin and thyroid levels are normal, but I'm a bit concerned about the mild PAH. Should I be worried about this and check in with a doctor?
Yes, mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) should be followed up by a doctor, especially since you are experiencing breathlessness on exertion and have a high heart rate. Treatment for PAH may include medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help lower the blood pressure in the lungs. It is important to monitor and manage PAH to prevent further complications.

I'm really feeling anxious about my ECG results that came in today. It's showing a low PR interval of 119ms, and I'm not sure if that's something to worry about. The report mentioned Sinus Rhythm and short PR interval. My heart rate is at 90 bpm, P duration 88ms, QRS duration 114ms, QTQTc interval 320393ms. Should I be concerned and start taking medications, or is this in the normal range? Could you explain what these numbers mean? I've attached the ECG photos too.
short PR interval is abnormal.The causes include wolf parkinson white syndrome, acute stress,junctional rhythm,anchanced AV node conduction etc,Patient need not worry , no treatment is required,, It is common in pregnancy and children.

I'm really worried after reading something about the COVID vaccine increasing the risk of blood clots and heart attacks, especially for people with high hscrp levels. My husband, who's 32, recently had an hsCRP test, and it came out to 1.7mgL. His cholesterol is also 227 with an LDL of 148. Should he think about starting ecosprin 75mg a week before he gets vaccinated and keep taking it for a few weeks after? I'm just trying to make sure we're doing everything we can to avoid any risks related to the vaccine. What do you suggest?
Elevated hs-CRP levels can indeed be a risk factor for blood clots and heart attacks. However, the decision to start taking ecosprin (aspirin) as a preventive measure should be made after consulting with a healthcare professional. In your husband's case, with an hs-CRP level of 1.7mgL, it is not considered very high. The current guidelines do not recommend routine aspirin therapy for primary prevention in individuals with low to moderate cardiovascular risk. It is important to consider the overall cardiovascular risk profile of your husband, including factors such as age, blood pressure, smoking status, and family history of heart disease. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate course of action regarding aspirin therapy before and after covid vaccination.
