I'm really worried about my dad. He's 65 and had open heart surgery last June. He's also been dealing with some CLVA on his left side for about 8 years. Just last week, he started having swelling in his legs. Can you help me understand what's causing this?

Swelling in the legs could be due to several factors, including heart-related issues such as heart failure, especially after open-heart surgery. It could also be related to his history of CLVA (Chronic Left Ventricular Aneurysm), which can affect circulation. I recommend getting a medical evaluation to determine the exact cause and ensure proper treatment.

I'm a 29-year-old software engineer, and I've been feeling a bit worried about my TMT test results. I'm 5.6 inches tall and weigh 76kg, and I live a normal lifestyle without any addictions. Despite other cardiac tests like X-ray, 2D Echo, and Lipid Profile coming back normal, my TMT tests have been consistently showing a "Mildly Positive" remark. This has happened three times over the past year. Should I be concerned about these TMT results, or is it something I can keep an eye on without stressing too much?

repeat ecg and tmt after 3 months is advised.
