I'm really worried because my uncle just had a heart attack and we're in a different country than he is. He's been in intensive care for around 6 hours now. Does that mean it's not life-threatening anymore? How long do people usually survive after having a heart attack? Just trying to understand what we should expect.

The time elapsed since the heart attack occurred is an important factor in determining the prognosis. The first few hours after a heart attack are critical, and the sooner medical treatment is received, the better the chances of survival and recovery. Being in intensive care means that he is receiving close monitoring and specialized care to address any complications that may arise. It is difficult to predict the outcome without knowing the specific details of his case, but being in intensive care is a positive sign that he is receiving the necessary treatment. It is important to follow the advice of the medical team caring for your uncle.

View allI'm trying to understand something from an ECG report I received. It says "ECG within normal limits, sinus rhythm, no ST T changes." What does all this actually mean? Is there anything here that I need to be concerned about or pay attention to? Could you please explain it to me?
ECG within Normal Limits means that the electrical activity of your heart is normal. Sinus rhythm indicates that the heart is beating at a normal rate and rhythm. No ST T changes suggest that there are no signs of heart muscle damage or inadequate blood supply to the heart. This is a good result and indicates that your heart is functioning well. It is important to continue with a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to maintain a healthy heart. If you have any specific concerns or symptoms, it is always recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

So my mom started taking Razel CV20 in July 2017 after her doctor switched her from Ecosprin. She's diabetic, but her sugar levels have been under control for a few years. The thing is, she's been complaining that sometimes her hands and feet get cold, and she feels weak, although she usually feels better after about 12 days of rest. These symptoms weren't there when she was on Ecosprin. There's no other health issue, and all her tests are normal. But seeing that two of her older brothers passed away from sudden strokes in their mid-60s, I'm worried. Could these symptoms be hiding something serious? Is it safe for her to continue taking Razel CV? She had high blood pressure in the past but it's been normal for the last 4-5 years. With a family history of high blood pressure, diabetes, and strokes, should we be concerned?
yes continue tab razel cv , also avoid butter,ghee, meat etc,, Salt restricted diet is advised to the patien.
