8% per year and additional evaluation for the presence of at risk myocardium should be done in addition following the secondary heart disease prevention guidelines of the American Heart Association. Repeat CAC scans are recommended annually to monitor disease progression and treatment response.
Both Amlodopine (Norvasc) and verapamil belong to the same group- the calcium channel blockers (CCB) which are usually indicated for hypertension and migraine prevention. Amlodipine have very little effect on heart rate and contraction while Verapamil have the greatest effects on the heart and reduce the strength and rate of contraction. Since they have different actions, it is best that you discuss this first with your attending physician for proper management. Take care and best regards.
It is difficult to provide much information regarding your medical condition other than the heart wall that separates the left and right sided heart chambers. When the phrase sub-aortic the diagnoses usually indicates stenosis (narrow opening) of the valve opening. If severe, the obstruction can reduce the blood into circulation. The 5mm does represent a smaller than normal opening.

Thanks a lot for your post. It's very informative. I'm considering everything you said and will have a look at Dr. Mercola's website.
No, the doctor didn't ask me for a DNA test. I suggested, but he said it might be worse. I don't think so. I believe in prevention. Any information you may have is very welcome. I'm quite lost. I kind of "knocked at the door, and didn't find the solution", but a few people tried to help, which I sincerely appreciate.
Well mild plaque is fine but signs you need to alter your lifestyle to slow or stop the progression of the disease. No smoking, regular exercise, avoid emotional stress, eat healthily and the top of the risk factors.
Type 3 vessel, this is just the length of the vessel. A type 3 is one which is the longest variety and goes down past the apex and can even take place of the posterior (rear) artery behind the heart.
It can cause permanent damage to the heart, including damaged heart valves and heart failure. Prevention of recurrence is achieved by eradicating the acute infection and prophylaxis with antibiotics. Monthly injections of long acting penicillin must be given for a period of five years in patients having one attack of rheumatic fever.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
This can be for many reasons, from obesity (the ECG leads are further from the heart) through COPD (same reason, the overinflated lungs are in the way) to significant heart disease, which are many...the ECG needs to be taken in the context for which it was done. Apparentally your doctor is not willing to affirm any heart disorder based on the EKG and chest pains without further evidence or continued chest pains.
I'm betting you learned this as a result of an EKG, it refers to a weakness of heart cells between the chambers. Usually the next step is a stress test, unless that has been done, then you would have an angiogram which is the gold standard. EKG's are a an 8 second view of your heart while it is beating away. Unless it is read by a Cardiologist, it isn't always very accurate.
If you do in fact have an anteroseptal wall ischemia, there are degrees of severity, in my opinion.
I have found some excellent information and advice in Arthur Agatston's book, "The South Beach Heart Program." Agatston is the author of "The South Beach Diet, and he is also a renown cardiologist. He writes about "aggressive prevention" of heart disease and relates that he rarely sees heart attacks among his patients who follow his program--even though they come to him with heart problems.
