My mom had an angioplasty about 36 hours ago with two stents placed because her artery was fully blocked. Now she's in the ICU and her heart rate is pretty high, like around 152 bpm, and it's averaging about 125 bpm. Plus, she's had low blood pressure a few times. Is this something we should be worried about? Could these be signs of any complications? Would really appreciate your advice.

The low blood pressure could be a result of reduced heart function or other factors. To address the high heart rate, a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol can be prescribed to help lower the heart rate. It is important to consult a cardiologist to assess her cardiac function in detail.

I'm feeling a bit confused and worried because I recently had some tests done. My TMT came back mildly positive, but my CT angiography, ECG, and echocardiogram all showed normal results. What could be the main reason for the TMT result? Could there be other factors affecting it? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

TMT (Treadmill Test) showing mildly positive results could indicate a possibility of coronary artery disease. However, since the CT angiography, ECG, and echocardiogram are all normal, other factors could be contributing to the mildly positive TMT result. These factors may include false-positive results, underlying medical conditions such as hypertension, or medication interference. To address the mildly positive TMT result and rule out any potential issues, your doctor may recommend lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management. In some cases, medication like aspirin or statins may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is important to monitor your heart health.

I'm a bit worried because for the past two days, I've been having some breathing discomfort, but it's not constant. It mostly happens after I've eaten in the afternoon and at night. I'm also experiencing some pain in my shoulder. I just started Zumba exercises, and it seems like this all started the day after. Do you think there's a connection? What's going on with my breathing and shoulder?

My wife's LVEF was measured at 50 during her pregnancy and it's still at the same level afterward. The cardiologist prescribed Ramister 1.25mg and Carnitor 500. We're a bit concerned since 50 is on the lower end of normal. Could you let us know if these medications will help improve her LVEF, or if there's anything else we should consider?

These medications can help improve cardiac function and potentially increase the LVEF. Additionally, it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to further support heart health."
