I've been feeling a bit restless and having some pressure in my chest. The doctor ran some tests including an ECG and a 2D Echo. Most things came back normal, but it showed diastolic dysfunction grade 1. Should I be concerned about this, and what does it even mean for my health?

View allI recently went through a medical test for my insurance, and they noted something called tachycardia. I'm a bit worried and curiousdoes this mean that tachycardia is actually present in my report? How do I confirm if it's really something to be concerned about?
Tachycardia is a condition where your heart beats faster than normal. To confirm if tachycardia is present in your report, you can look for the heart rate measurement. If your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats per minute, then it is likely that tachycardia is present. If you have been diagnosed with tachycardia, medications like Metoprolol (25-100mg) or Atenolol (25-100mg) may be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

I'm trying to make sense of some health concerns and could use a bit of guidance. I recently had an abnormal ECG that showed RBBB with sinus tachycardia, and my CT angiogram revealed 0 calcium deposits. But I'm still feeling some discomfort in my chest and experiencing breathlessness. Could I still have some kind of heart problem even with these results?
1) Despite the absence of calcium deposits on the CT angiogram, it is still possible to have a cardiovascular issue. Given your symptoms and abnormal ECG findings, further evaluation is necessary. I recommend starting treatment with a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the sinus tachycardia and chest discomfort. 2) The chest discomfort and breathlessness you are experiencing may be related to your cardiac condition. In addition to the beta-blocker, you can also take Aspirin (81mg) daily to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. However, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive assessment and management plan.

Hey, I'm reaching out because my dad, who's 57, is dealing with some serious mitral regurgitation and his LVEF is just 30. The doctors here have mentioned a MITRACLIP surgery as a possible solution. Could you tell me where in India we can get this surgery done? I'm really worried and just want the best care for him.
"Hi, for mitral regurgitation with low LVEF, MITRACLIP surgery is a good option. In India, you can consider getting the MITRACLIP surgery done at hospitals like Apollo Hospitals, Fortis Hospitals, or Medanta - The Medicity. These hospitals have experienced cardiac surgeons who can perform the procedure successfully. It is important to consult with the cardiologist and surgeon at the chosen hospital to discuss the procedure in detail and plan for the surgery. The dosage and specific brand of medications post-surgery will be prescribed by the treating doctor based on your father's condition."
