I'm wondering if an ECG can actually catch all heart-related problems. I just had an ECG done and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Is it still possible that I could have some kind of heart issue even if the ECG didn't show anything?

A normal ECG result does not completely rule out all heart problems. While an ECG is a valuable tool in detecting certain heart conditions, it may not always detect all types of heart problems. It is possible to have heart issues that are not evident on an ECG. If you have concerns about your heart health, it is important to discuss them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management.

View allI'm really concerned about my dad's health. His recent report showed that his ejection fraction is at 38 when it's supposed to be around 50. He's having trouble with breathing too. Can you tell me how serious this is and what kind of treatments or precautions we should be considering?

I'm a bit concerned about my echocardiography results. It mentions "Grade I LV diastolic dysfunction" and "Trace AR." Can you explain what these mean? Like, how serious is this, and what should I be thinking about or doing next?
Grade I diastolic dysfunction means there is mild impairment in the relaxation of the left ventricle. As for trace aortic regurgitation, it indicates a small amount of blood leaking back into the heart's left ventricle during the relaxation phase. For Grade I LV diastolic dysfunction, you may be prescribed medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help with blood pressure control and heart function. For trace AR, you may not need any specific treatment but regular monitoring by your healthcare provider is recommended.
