My father is 62 and needs a valve replacement but we're worried about open heart surgery. I heard about TAVR or TAVI as an alternative. Can you suggest hospitals in Mumbai that perform this procedure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Several hospitals in Mumbai offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, as an alternative to open-heart surgery for valve replacement. Some of these hospitals include Hiranandani Hospital and Apollo Hospitals. It's important to consult with a cardiologist to determine if TAVR is the right choice for your father, considering his age, overall health, and the specific type of valve disease.

I'm really worried because my doctor said I have IRBBB on my ECG and that it's nothing to be concerned about. I'm 40 now and was fit until my early 30s. Will this affect my future life? I'm feeling really tense about it.
Having incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) on your ECG is usually not a cause for concern, especially if your doctor has reassured you about it. It is often considered a benign finding. However, if you are feeling tense and anxious about it, it's important to address your concerns. To help manage your anxiety, you can consider relaxation techniques, exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If your anxiety persists, you may also speak to your doctor about it. In terms of your future life, IRBBB itself typically does not have a significant impact on your overall health or longevity. As long as you continue to follow a healthy lifestyle and attend regular check-ups with your doctor, you should be able to maintain your well-being. If you have any further concerns or symptoms, it's always best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

Lately, my blood pressure seems to be higher than what's considered normal, at 12080. I found this out during my annual medical check-up, and now I can't stop worrying about it. Any advice on how I can manage this or stop overthinking about my BP?
