My final diagnosis shows mitral annular calcification with concentric LVH and RWMA in the LCX territory. There's mild LV dysfunction with an LVEF of 49%, trivial MR, and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. No TR or PE was noted. Do I need surgery for this, or what treatment options should I consider? I'm 65 and a bit worried about the next steps.

Given your diagnosis of mitral annular calcification, concentric LVH, RWMA in the LCX territory, mild LV dysfunction (LVEF 49%), trivial MR, and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, you don't necessarily need surgery for the mitral annular calcification itself. The focus should be on managing the LV dysfunction, coronary artery disease (CAD), and potential issues related to the RWMA.

I'm a 43-year-old guy, and I've been dealing with some chest pain, so I had an echocardiogram done. They found grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. My blood pressure's been a bit off too; usually, the systolic pressure is between 120 and 126, but the diastolic is always around 90 to 96. I've also been taking Roseday 10mg for a few months since my LDL cholesterol was slightly above the borderline. I'm really curious if I should be on any medication for my blood pressure and if I should be concerned about this diastolic dysfunction thing. Does it get worse over time?
Consider medication for high diastolic BP, especially since its consistently elevated. Continue your current medication (Roseday) for cholesterol management, but ensure your BP is addressed as well. Be proactive about lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise, and stress management. Regularly monitor your heart function and consult your cardiologist for any necessary adjustments.

I'm curious about when to take Ecosprin AV75. I've heard it might be better to take it at night before bed, but can it be taken in the morning as well? Is there a significant difference, or does one time work better than the other? I'd love some guidance on this.
it is necessary to take the tablet at bedtime only.
