I've just turned 17, and I'm trying to understand my lvef count, which is at 75. Is this something normal for someone my age? Any insights you could share would be really helpful because I'm a bit concerned.

An ejection fraction (EF) of 75% is considered normal and indicates good heart function. There is no need to worry about this result. Just continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

My mom's ultrasound showed a poor acoustic window because of her body size. The doctor mentioned it might affect the results. I'm really worried does this mean she'll need surgery or can medications help her get better? What are our options here?

We need to see all her reports, examine her once and look into the gravity on her symptoms to decide the course of treatment best for her.

I'm dealing with mitral valve prolapse with some mild regurgitation, and I've been on Cardivas for my blood pressure. My doctor mentioned it might also help with MVP. However, I've been having issues with sexual dysfunction, so my doctor switched me to Nebicard. I'm curious which medication, Cardivas or Nebicard, is better for managing both my blood pressure and mitigating any sexual side effects. Any insights would be really helpful.

Both Cardivas and Nebicard are beta blockers commonly used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. In your case, both medications can help with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with mild regurgitation by reducing the workload on the heart and helping to control heart rate. Regarding sexual dysfunction, some beta blockers like Cardivas can potentially cause sexual side effects such as erectile dysfunction. Nebicard is a newer generation beta blocker that is less likely to cause sexual dysfunction compared to older beta blockers like Cardivas. Therefore, Nebicard may be a better option for you if sexual dysfunction is a concern. In terms of controlling blood pressure, both Cardivas and Nebicard are effective medications. However, Nebicard may be a preferred choice if you are experiencing sexual side effects with Cardivas. Ultimately, the decision between Cardivas and Nebicard should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, taking into consideration your individual health needs and any potential side effects you may be experiencing.
