My aunt had a heart attack last month and the doctor recommended bypass surgery. I've attached her angiography report could you advise whether bypass or angioplasty would be the better option for her?

Bypass surgery may be considered as the better option for surgery in some cases where the arteries of the heart may be clogged in multiple areas or when the blockage is in the main coronary artery in the left portion of the heart.

I've just had a 2D echo because I was experiencing chest pain, and I'm currently breastfeeding. Could you take a look at the results? I'm really worried about whether mild TR is something to be concerned about. Would love your insight on this situation.

Mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common finding in many people and is often not a cause for concern. However, since you are experiencing chest pain and are a breastfeeding mother, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for chest pain relief.
