I'm really concerned about my dad's health. He had a bypass surgery back in 2007, even though he hadn't had a heart attack. He's been doing well all these years, just keeping up with his regular meds and walking routines. He's also been managing diabetes for the last 35 years. I'm wondering, is it okay for him to start swimming now? Do you think it'd be safe for him given his medical history?

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?

I'm a bit concerned about my recent heart test results. I'm 53, usually pretty active, and not a blood pressure patient. My 2D echo came back with some terms that are worrying me a little, like concentric LVH and something about my aortic valve being sclerotic. The report mentioned a murmur sound, mild PAH, and a note about grade 1 LVDD. My LVEF is at 60%. Can you help me understand what all this means, especially the LVH and the sclerotic aortic valve? Should I be worried about these findings, even though the report says no RWMA, no effusion, and no clots?

Based on the report, the patient has Concentric LVH with Grade 1 LVDD, sclerotic aortic valve with trivial AR, mild PAH, and no significant abnormalities in the heart chambers. The ejection fraction is within the normal range at 60%. The patient's active lifestyle is a positive sign, but regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition and manage any potential progression of the identified issues.
