View allI'm really concerned about my blood work. Am I at risk for a cardiac arrest at any moment? My lipoprotein A is 53 mgdl, HS CRP is 4.3 mgL, total cholesterol is 222 mgdl, triglycerides are 212 mgdl, VLDL cholesterol is 42.48 mgdl, and non-HDL cholesterol is 172.2 mgdl. My TSH is 6.93, and I also have hypertension. Are these numbers something to be really worried about?
Your Lipoprotein A level is 53mgdl, HS-CRP is 4.3mgL, Total Cholesterol is 222 mgdl, Triglycerides are 212 mgdl, VLDL Cholesterol is 42.48 mgdl, NON HDL Cholesterol is 172.2 mgdl, and TSH is 6.93. These values indicate a higher risk for cardiovascular issues. To manage your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiac events, I recommend starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, for hypertension, you can take Amlodipine 5mg once daily. It is important to follow up with regular check-ups and lifestyle modifications to improve your overall cardiovascular health."

My father is 62 and needs a valve replacement but we're worried about open heart surgery. I heard about TAVR or TAVI as an alternative. Can you suggest hospitals in Mumbai that perform this procedure?
Several hospitals in Mumbai offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, as an alternative to open-heart surgery for valve replacement. Some of these hospitals include Hiranandani Hospital and Apollo Hospitals. It's important to consult with a cardiologist to determine if TAVR is the right choice for your father, considering his age, overall health, and the specific type of valve disease.
