What does significant STT changes in an ECG mean and is it safe for me to proceed with a hystero laparoscopy surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Significant ST-T changes on an ECG, meaning abnormal ST-segment and T-wave tracings, can indicate various cardiac issues or be a normal variant. Whether it's safe to proceed with a hystero laparoscopy surgery with these changes depends on the specific cause and severity of the ST-T changes, as well as your overall health

View allI'm 25 and went for a full heart check-up. My ECG and echo were both normal, but my first TMT test came back positive even though I didn't feel any pain or issues while exercising. I decided to take the TMT test again just to be sure, and this time it came back normal or negative. Why would the first TMT show positive? Do I need to look into this more or get further tests done?
The initial positive TMT result may be attributed to factors like dehydration, anxiety, or a false positive, especially since you didn't experience any symptoms during exercise and the repeat test came back normal; however, to confirm the absence of any underlying cardiac issues, consider discussing further evaluation with your cardiologist, such as a stress echocardiogram or a cardiac MRI, to rule out any potential concerns.

I'm really worried about my dad. He doesn't have any symptoms of a heart attack, but his cholesterol and triglyceride levels are pretty high. His total cholesterol is at 251 mgdl, triglycerides at 625 mgdl, HDL is 46 mgdl and LDL is 110 mgdl. Do you think lifestyle changes could help bring these numbers down, or should we be considering surgery like some people have suggested? I'm really unsure about what direction we should take.
With those cholesterol and triglyceride levels, lifestyle modifications are definitely the first step in managing the situation. Your dad should focus on a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management. Additionally, medications like Atorvastatin 20mg can be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. Surgery is usually considered only when lifestyle changes and medications are not effective in controlling cholesterol levels or if there are other significant risk factors present. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring of his condition

I'm really worried about my grandma. She's 87 and has no history of diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease; but she recently had a silent heart attack. She started complaining of breathlessness a few days later, and tests showed a weakened heart. They treated the pulmonary edema with lasix, and her pulse saturation seems stable now. Should we consider going for angioplasty?
