What do you think it means when my ECG shows a T wave inversion and my echo test results are fine, but my TMT test comes back positive? These have been the results for the past ten years. Now I've also caught COVID-19 with a mild lung infection. Any advice?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
based on your description of T wave inversion in ECG, a positive TMT test for the past 10 years, and mild COVID-19 infection in the lungs, it suggests that you may have a long-standing cardiac issue. The T wave inversion in ECG can indicate heart muscle ischemia or other cardiac problems. Since your TMT test has been positive for the past 10 years, it indicates that there is a likelihood of coronary artery disease or heart-related issues. In this case, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health closely. You may consider taking medications such as Aspirin and Atorvastatin to reduce the risk of heart complications. Additionally, for your mild COVID-19 infection, it is crucial to follow the prescribed treatment plan, rest, stay hydrated, and monitor your symptoms closely. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I've been having this really intense chest pain whenever I'm sleeping or after sitting down for a long time. It's weird because it never happens when I'm walking around. The pain doesn't spread to my jaw or arms, and I'm not experiencing any breathlessness, but my digestion isn't right either. This has been going on for about a month now, but only occasionally. Could you give me some advice on what's going on or what I should do?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view and cardiac markers is advised to the patient.

I'm trying to understand the results of my recent 2D echo and colour Doppler test. It mentioned things like LEFT VENTRICLE ASH, TRILEAFLETS, and an AORTIC VALVE that's thickened. It also noted some stuff about COLOUR DOPPLER and something called AV GRDT 5mmHg AR GRADE 1. They concluded I have HYPERTENSIVE HEART DISEASE and ASYMMETRICAL SEPTAL HYPERTROPHY among other things. They said I have a NORMAL LV SYSTOLIC FUNCTION with an EF of 64%, but I'm not quite sure what that means. Given this, is my condition something thats curable or can be managed? Would surgery or implants help at all? I don't have diabetes and my heart rate stays around 50-60 bpm consistently. I've been on Zabeta X for nine years, then LODOZ 2.5 for a year, and now CONCOR 2.5 for the last 15 days. Also, I've been taking Restyl 0.5 at bedtime for 9 years. What should I consider doing next?
1. Whether it is curablecontrolled? Based on the diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease, asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, sclerotic aortic valve with mild aortic regurgitation, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, these conditions can be managed and controlled with appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications. While these conditions may not be completely curable, their progression can be slowed down and symptoms can be managed effectively with proper medical management. 2. Whether surgery or implants in any way will be of any help? In your case, since you have normal left ventricular systolic function and no regional wall motion abnormalities at rest, surgery or implants may not be necessary at this point. However, in some cases where there is severe aortic stenosis or regurgitation, surgical interventions such as aortic valve replacement may be considered. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and to determine if any surgical interventions are needed in the future. 3. Your considered opinion, suggestion, solution? Considering your current medication regimen, it is important to continue taking Concor 2.5 as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking can help in managing your condition. Regular follow-up visits with your cardiologist are essential to monitor your heart health and adjust your treatment plan as needed. If you have any concerns or experience any new symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
