I'm trying to understand my echo report, which mentioned moderate systolic dysfunction. What does this mean exactly? I'm a bit concerned because the report is already six months old. Can you help me make sense of this?

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having this heaviness in my chest, but it's only on the left side. Sometimes there's a bit of pain there too. Plus, my upper back on the left side is hurting as well. It's been going on for about a year now. I did a full body checkup in the first week of January and everything came back normal. What should I do now? Who should I see for this? Are there any specific tests you recommend?
Patient is advised x-ray chest ,cardiac markers and ecg.

I've been tracking my triglycerides, and they were around 260. Lately, I've started doing a brisk walk every day for about 1.5 hours, just following what my doctor suggested. After about 20 days, my triglycerides dropped to 156. Is it normal for them to fall that much, or should I think about getting retested? Also, I'm curious whether high lipid profiles from before can get stuck in the arteries, or do they clear out once the levels go down?
It is possible for your triglyceride levels to decrease with regular exercise like brisk walking. However, it is advisable to repeat the test to confirm the improvement. As for the second part of your question, high lipid profiles can contribute to the buildup of plaque in your arteries over time. Lowering your lipid levels, such as triglycerides, through lifestyle changes and medication can help reduce this buildup and lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
