What is a heart cough?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.

View allI'm currently taking Telma 40 in the morning and half a tablet of Ivabradine 5 in the evening, both after meals. I'm wondering if I could possibly take both the Telma and the half Ivabradine together in the morning after breakfast instead of spreading them out. Would that be okay?
Taking Telma 40 and Ivabradine 5 together in the morning after breakfast instead of at different times is not recommended. It is important to follow the prescribed dosing schedule to ensure the effectiveness of the medications. Telma (Telmisartan) 40 should be taken in the morning after food, while Ivabradine 5 should be taken in the evening after food. It is best to follow the prescribed timing to achieve the desired therapeutic effects of both medications.

I'm a bit concerned after reading my eco report, and I need some clarity on a few things. It mentions "normal cardiac chamber" but then there's "concentric LVH grade lLVDD." What does that mean exactly? Also, it says "trivial MR" and "trivial AR"are these something I should be worried about? There's mention of "NO RWMA," which I'm assuming is a good thing, right? And it states "normal biventricular" function, but then what's "distolic function LVEF60"? Is that normal? Lastly, there's "NO IC clot VEGPE intact IAS IVS"so does this mean everything's okay overall? I'd really appreciate your insights.
Based on the eco report provided, the findings indicate normal cardiac chambers with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and grade 1 left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). There is trivial mitral regurgitation (MR) and trivial aortic regurgitation (AR) present. There are no regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) noted. The biventricular and diastolic functions are normal with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 60%. There are no intracardiac clots, vegetations (VEG), or pulmonary embolism (PE) observed. The interatrial septum (IAS) and interventricular septum (IVS) are intact. Based on the findings, no specific treatment is required at this point. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor any changes in your cardiac health.

I'm really worried because my dad just got diagnosed with an ejection fraction of 25 and he's on a ventilator right now. What can we do to improve his ejection fraction?
