I've been told I have left ventricle collapse. Is this common? Can you explain what it means and if it's something serious?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Left ventricular collapse is not a common condition. It can be a serious medical issue that may result from conditions such as severe heart failure, myocardial infarction, or cardiogenic shock. The collapse of the left ventricle can lead to decreased cardiac output and potentially life-threatening complications. Treatment typically involves medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. In severe cases, surgical interventions or devices like an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator may be necessary. It is important to follow up regularly with a cardiologist for proper management and monitoring of this condition.

Why do most heart attacks occur in the morning?
Our body has Carcadian system and this rythm dips and raises throutout the day. This system sends out PA1-1 cells which blocks the blood clots from breaking down. Another reason is when we wake up, brain floods the heart with hormones which increases the load on the heart .

I'm feeling really lightheaded and having some chest discomfort. A couple of years ago, I did some tests like ECG, ECHO, and TMT, and everything was normal except there was a comment about systolic dysfunction in the echo. My blood pressure was also fine at that time. But now, when I checked my blood pressure because of the lightheadedness, it was 10661. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be worried about the systolic dysfunction part from before?
Feeling lightheaded and experiencing chest discomfort, especially with a history of systolic dysfunction noted in your echocardiogram, warrants immediate attention. Although your previous tests were normal, new or worsening symptoms should not be ignored. Your current blood pressure of 10661 mmHg is on the lower side, which may contribute to your lightheadedness. Given your symptoms and history, it is essential to seek medical evaluation promptly to rule out any potential cardiac issues or other causes. Please visit an emergency room or contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible for a thorough assessment and appropriate management.
