Is it a big issue if I have cardiac conduction defects like PVC and PVAs? My May 2d echo came back normal, but the ECG still shows PVCs. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Having cardiac conduction defects such as PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) and PVAs (Premature Atrial Contractions) can sometimes indicate an underlying heart issue. While PVCs and PVAs are common and can be benign in many cases, they can also be associated with certain heart conditions. Since your 2D echo is normal, it is a good sign that the structure of your heart is normal. However, the presence of PVCs on ECG warrants further evaluation to determine the underlying cause and assess the overall heart function. In terms of medication, if your PVCs are symptomatic or concerning, your doctor may prescribe antiarrhythmic medications such as Flecainide or Propafenone to help regulate your heart rhythm. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on your individual case and should be determined by your healthcare provider. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is important to monitor your heart health and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

View allI'm really worried about my friend who's been having some chest pain lately. She's also experiencing breathlessness, headaches at the back, and shoulder pain for the past few months. I'm wondering if this could be stress-related and what she can do to get some relief.
the symptoms of stress-induced chest pain can include breathlessness, headache, and shoulder pain. To help relieve these symptoms, your friend can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen for headache and muscle pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation can help reduce stress levels. It is also important for your friend to address the underlying stressors causing the chest pain, possibly through therapy or counseling. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking for some advice. My husband, who's 29 and weighs around 92 kg, has been feeling a pinching sensation in his chest and some pain in his left arm for about 45 days now. He's a non-smoker, drinks occasionally, and his parents both had heart attacks before. Our cardio doctor suggested a CT coronary angio test, which is non-invasive. About six months ago, he had episodes of increased heartbeats, anxiety, and sweating, and we did a bunch of tests like the 2D Echo Doppler, TMT, and trop T, which all came back normal in September 2018. I'm wondering if this is a good step to take to get more clarity on what's happening with him. Are there any side effects from this test we should be aware of, and is there anything specific we should do to prepare before he takes the test?

I'm really concerned about something and wanted to get your advice. I'm 61 and just had some tests done. They said my LV function is normal with an EF of 60 and no RWMA, but I have trivial MR and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction with concentric LVH. The valves check out fine and there are no clots, vegetation, or pericardial effusion. My chamber dimensions are normal too. But when I did a stress TMT, it showed some significant ST changes in leads II, III, AVf, V4, V6, although I had no arrhythmia or chest pain, and my heart rate and blood pressure responded normally. Should I be worried about these ST changes? What does this all mean for my heart health?
Based on the information provided, it seems like the patient may be experiencing some significant ST changes in specific ECG leads without chest pain. In this case, the patient may benefit from medication to help manage their condition. The patient can be prescribed **Aspirin** 75mg daily to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Additionally, **Atorvastatin** 20mg can be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further cardiac issues. In addition to these medications, **Metoprolol** 25mg can be prescribed to help manage the patient's blood pressure and heart rate, especially in the presence of significant ST changes on ECG. It is important for the patient to follow up with their healthcare provider regularly to monitor their condition and adjust their treatment plan as needed.
