I'm trying to understand the results of my recent 2D echo and colour Doppler test. It mentioned things like LEFT VENTRICLE ASH, TRILEAFLETS, and an AORTIC VALVE that's thickened. It also noted some stuff about COLOUR DOPPLER and something called AV GRDT 5mmHg AR GRADE 1. They concluded I have HYPERTENSIVE HEART DISEASE and ASYMMETRICAL SEPTAL HYPERTROPHY among other things. They said I have a NORMAL LV SYSTOLIC FUNCTION with an EF of 64%, but I'm not quite sure what that means. Given this, is my condition something thats curable or can be managed? Would surgery or implants help at all? I don't have diabetes and my heart rate stays around 50-60 bpm consistently. I've been on Zabeta X for nine years, then LODOZ 2.5 for a year, and now CONCOR 2.5 for the last 15 days. Also, I've been taking Restyl 0.5 at bedtime for 9 years. What should I consider doing next?

- Whether it is curablecontrolled? Based on the diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease, asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, sclerotic aortic valve with mild aortic regurgitation, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, these conditions can be managed and controlled with appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications. While these conditions may not be completely curable, their progression can be slowed down and symptoms can be managed effectively with proper medical management. 2. Whether surgery or implants in any way will be of any help? In your case, since you have normal left ventricular systolic function and no regional wall motion abnormalities at rest, surgery or implants may not be necessary at this point. However, in some cases where there is severe aortic stenosis or regurgitation, surgical interventions such as aortic valve replacement may be considered. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and to determine if any surgical interventions are needed in the future. 3. Your considered opinion, suggestion, solution? Considering your current medication regimen, it is important to continue taking Concor 2.5 as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking can help in managing your condition. Regular follow-up visits with your cardiologist are essential to monitor your heart health and adjust your treatment plan as needed. If you have any concerns or experience any new symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm trying to understand what a left anterior hemiblock means when it shows up on an ECG. Should I be worried about it? Is there a need for any kind of treatment, or is it something that won't affect my health too much?
Left anterior hemiblock (LAHB) on an ECG indicates an abnormality in the electrical conduction pathway of the heart, specifically affecting the left anterior fascicle of the left bundle branch. While LAHB can be benign in some individuals, it can also be associated with underlying heart conditions such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, or cardiomyopathies. Whether it requires treatment depends on the presence of symptoms and any underlying heart conditions. It's important to consult with your cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the significance of LAHB in your case and to discuss whether any further tests or treatments are necessary.

I've been feeling this heavy sensation in my head for the past few days, and while my blood pressure was normal before, recently it's been at 126 over 80. I'm curious, does the heavy feeling in my head mean my blood pressure is actually shooting up past 140 over 90 during those times? When I visited my doctor, my pressure was 126 over 80 and I didn't have that heavy feeling at that moment.
The feeling of heaviness in your head may not necessarily correlate with your blood pressure being above 14090. It is possible to experience symptoms like a heavy head even with a blood pressure reading of 12680. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache relief. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, practice relaxation techniques, and get an adequate amount of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
