My mom's cardiologist suggested open heart surgery for her severe mitral stenosis but I'm really worried about such a major procedure. I heard about balloon valvuloplasty as an alternative - could that work for her condition? What would you recommend as the best option for her severe valve problem?

I'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG report which showed sinus bradycardia and a slight ST elevation in leads V4, V5, and V6. Is this something to be worried about or is it considered normal?

In your ECG report, sinus bradycardia with slight ST elevation in leads V4, V5, and V6 can indicate a possible myocardial injury or ischemia. It is important to further evaluate this finding to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may need to take medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, medications like Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can help in controlling heart rate and blood pressure. It is advisable to follow up with a cardiologist for a more detailed assessment and management plan.
