My mom has a 28 mm hole in her heart. Can the immune system heal this naturally, or is surgery necessary? I'm also curious whether treatments like Ayurveda might help. What do you suggest?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 28 mm hole in the heart, likely referring to a congenital defect such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or a ventricular septal defect (VSD), typically requires medical intervention. This size of a defect is unlikely to close on its own and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Surgery or a catheter-based procedure is usually required to close such a large defect. Ayurveda or other alternative therapies are not effective for treating structural heart defects. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to discuss the appropriate treatment options for your mother

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been diagnosed with sepsis cardiomyopathy and CKD stage 3. What kind of treatments should we be looking into, and what does this all mean for her, like how long she might live?
Sepsis needs to be cured with radical antibiotics,if neglected it would lead to MODS,hence visit your Physician and take appropriate management,for CKD she has to undergo Dialysis twice a week atleast.

I'm looking over my brother's medical report, and I'm curious about his high sensitive troponin I levelit came back as 0.05. Is this something to worry about? Can you help me understand if this is within a normal range or if there might be cause for concern?
High sensitive troponin I level of 0.05 ngmL is within the normal range. Troponin levels are often used to diagnose heart attacks or other heart-related conditions. In this case, the level of 0.05 ngmL is not concerning and does not indicate any acute heart issues. It is important to consider other factors and symptoms in conjunction with this result for a comprehensive evaluation. If your brother is experiencing any symptoms or concerns, it is recommended to follow up with his healthcare provider for further assessment and guidance.
