My dad had mitral valve replacement surgery a while back and now needs a laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones. What risks should we be aware of given his heart condition? Also, why might someone like him develop gallstones in the first place? Are there any other treatment options besides surgery?

I'm feeling really tired and weak after my angioplasty. I'm also sweating a lot, and I've got these cold shivers. Walking is hard because of that, and I've noticed five black dots on the sole of my foot. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing all this?
It is post angioplasty complications.. The complications will settle within 2-3 days, if persisting cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient..

I've been having this back pain that shoots down to my hands and chest. I had a TMT done on 20th February 2022, and it came out negative. But I'm worried because I'm feeling the pain again today, and my doctor advised an ECG. If my TMT was normal, do I really need to get an ECG every single time this pain hits?
If you have already undergone a TMT which was normal, and you are experiencing chest pain again, it is still important to have an ECG done to check for any acute changes in your heart's electrical activity. It is not necessary to have an ECG done every time you have pain, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it is advisable to seek medical attention and follow your doctor's recommendations.
