So, my dad had blood clots a couple of months ago, but after being treated in the hospital hes doing fine now. Recently, his CT pulmonary angiogram came back normal, which is great. The pulmonologist said he should take Eliquis 5 mg for life. But I noticed that Apigat 5 has the same ingredient, Apixaban 5 mg. Can he take Apigat 5 instead of Eliquis 5? I've attached details for both meds.

View allI recently got an echo report showing mild tr and trivial mr but my LVEF is 70 with normal LV function. I'm a football player with no symptoms but worried about the valve leakage. Should I be concerned about the mild tr? Does this mean I need surgery or can I continue playing sports? The report says everything else is normal but I'm anxious about the leak.
cardiologist opinion is advised.

I've been feeling a heaviness in my chest when I'm trying to sleep, and it's making it hard for me to breathe. It's strange because I'm not coughing or anything. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

I've been feeling a bit off lately and got a 2D echo. It says I have LV diastolic dysfunction type 1. I'm only 34. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?
LV diastolic dysfunction type 1 indicates that the left ventricle of your heart is not relaxing properly during the filling phase. In such cases, it is important to manage any underlying conditions that may be contributing to this dysfunction. Treatment may include medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5-20mg once daily or ARBs like Losartan 25-100mg once daily to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking to support heart health. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
