I've been diagnosed with coronary artery disease and have triple vessel disease, along with type 2 diabetes. I just got my reports back, and they mention something about "good LV systolic." Can you help me understand what that means? Should I be worried about these findings? I'm trying to wrap my head around all these terms and what they mean for my health.

Can you help me understand if Gabapentin and methylcobalamin tablets are actually meant for pedal edema? My grandmother thinks it helps reduce her swelling, but I thought it was for her neuropathic pain from cervical spondylosis. She's also dealing with grade 2 diastolic heart failure, and her cardiologist prescribed this. I'm just worried if we're using it right and if it really helps with edema, any advice?

No there is no role of this drug in resolving pedeledma ,and is used to neuropathic pain,continue that medicine
