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 trying to figure out the best method or test to determine if my heart is in good condition. I've heard that an echo might not fully guarantee a healthy heart. Can you clarify this for me and maybe suggest other reliable options?
The best way to check the health of your heart is through a combination of tests. One of the most common and effective tests is an ECG (Electrocardiogram), which measures the electrical activity of your heart. Additionally, an Echocardiogram (Echo) can provide valuable information about the structure and function of your heart. To get a comprehensive assessment, you can also consider a stress test to evaluate how your heart performs under physical exertion. These tests, along with blood tests to check cholesterol and other markers, can give a good indication of your heart health.

My 72-year-old father is weak and sometimes has high BP. He takes ecospirin AV 75 every night. His ECG report shows sinus bradycardia, right bundle branch block, and T wave abnormality suggesting lateral ischemia. The ECG is abnormal. Should he keep taking ecospirin AV 75? Does he need any surgery based on these findings? What should we do next?
East Delhi father’s sinus bradycardia with RBBB and ischemic changes needs cardiology review before stopping aspirin;surgery depends on angiography findings.
