I'm really worried after getting my recent heart test results. It mentioned ischemic heart disease and moderate LV systolic dysfunction with an LVEF of 44. There was also something about RWMA being present and hypokinesia in the LCX territory. What does all that really mean for my heart health? How serious is this, and what should I be doing next?

Ischemic heart disease with moderate LV systolic dysfunction, LVEF 44%, and RWMA present along with hypokinesia seen in the LCX territory can be managed with medications such as: - Aspirin 75-150mg daily - Clopidogrel 75mg daily - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25-50mg twice daily - ACE Inhibitors like Lisinopril 2.5-5mg daily - Statins like Atorvastatin 20-40mg daily These medications can help improve heart function and reduce the risk of further complications.

View allI'm really worried because my blood pressure is at an all-time high, showing readings like 152105, and my heart rate is 101. I'm not feeling well at all. Could this be something serious, and what should I do about it?
"I recommend you take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily for high blood pressure. For your elevated heart rate, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. Make sure to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly."

I'm dealing with Sinus Arrhythmia and have been on Cordarone 100 daily. I recently had a 24-hour Holter monitor test, which showed many periods of Sinus Bradycardia and frequent PVCs. My Echo cardiogram says LVEF is 72 with Trivial MRTR. Everything else like my ECG, lipid, thyroid, kidney, and liver profiles are coming back normal. My HbA1c is at 4.9 and my hemoglobin is 15.10. Can you please help me understand what all this means and if there's anything specific I should be doing or worrying about?

I'm experiencing some pain in the middle of my chest since last night. I think it might be related to stress and maybe even gastric issues. Should I be considering a heart checkup just to be safe, or is it okay to just monitor it for now?
It is important to rule out any potential heart issues, especially if you are experiencing chest pain. However, based on your description and suspicion of gastric-related pain due to work stress, you can start with an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for relief. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.
