I'm really worried because my dad has a blockage of 80% in the LAD artery. The doctor recommended angioplasty, but I'm wondering if there are medication options for treating this. What should we do?

View allI'm a bit puzzled about my blood pressure readings. I got a TMT, ECG, and blood tests for my heart, and everything came back normal. But sometimes when I check my BP, the first reading is 15090, and then right after, it drops to 13090. It's happened a couple of times. Why could this be happening?
Sometimes, blood pressure readings can vary due to factors such as stress, anxiety, or even the environment in which the measurement is taken. This is known as white coat hypertension. To help manage this issue, you can try practicing relaxation techniques before getting your blood pressure checked. Additionally, you may consider taking medication like Amlodipine 5mg to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried about my dad. He's 61 and has been dealing with diabetes and thalassemia. He had surgery for a blockage about six years ago, and now he's been feeling really fatigued. He just got a 2D echo done, and the report says RWMALVEF 50. Should I be concerned about these results? Is it something dangerous or is this considered normal given his medical history?
Patient's 2D echo report showing impression of Regional Wall Motion Abnormality (RWMA) with Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) of 50% indicates a decreased heart function. This can be concerning and may require further evaluation and management. To improve heart function and address fatigue, the patient can be prescribed medications like Carvedilol 6.25 mg twice daily and Lisinopril 5 mg once daily. Additionally, the patient may benefit from Aspirin 81 mg daily for cardiovascular protection. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm a bit concerned about my wife's recent master health checkup. Her ECG results came back abnormal, but her TMT was normal. Could you help us understand what the abnormal ECG might mean? We would appreciate any insights you have.
I cannot view attachments, but if your wifes ECG results show abnormalities, it could indicate various issues like arrhythmias, heart strain, or other conditions. Since her TMT was normal, its a positive sign, but I would recommend discussing the ECG results further with her doctor to pinpoint the exact cause and get proper guidance.
