Common Questions and Answers about Heart disease symptoms body

t present you with any symptoms. The valve between the two right chambers in your heart has a slight leak. However, some of the newer breed of Cardiologists are starting to investigate Mild leaks. The reason is, if an ongoing infection for example is the cause, it can quite quickly turn to moderate, and then severe. Valves are best dealt with at the earliest possible stage.
You have a slight leak in your tricuspid valve, but is the leak sufficient to cause the heart to over work? The right side of your heart basically pumps blood returned from the body through the Lungs and back to the left side. So any narrowings along the route can cause issues too. So, basically you want to know what tests they intend to run to establish the problem.
The symptoms for acid reflux and heart problems are very similar and often one is mistaken for the other. I spent a whole year on acid reflux medication before having a heart attack. I kept trying to explain that the throat discomfort I had was something I had never experienced in my 46 years of life, but unfortunately that didn't seem to matter. I too never suffered shortness of breath.
AND, since many have become westernised, they have certainly started to see the real effects of heart disease. Erijon is correct in that these individual cases are often used to try and disprove the benefits of medications, but they never use the full story. It's the same with the French paradox for the English. Our neighbours consume tons of dairy products yet have very little instance of heart disease compared to us.
I can really understand why you are asking questions, especially with your Fathers age. You have to remember that we are not Cardiologists, but we can offer options based on our perspective, what we would do in your shoes.
Personally if this was my Father, I would leave the LMCA. It is borderline for intervention. It's definitely too risky for stenting and I doubt if stents would last very long in this case, they would likely re-block quickly.
A small number of people who have MVP may need medicines to relieve their symptoms. Very few people who have MVP need heart valve surgery to repair their mitral valves.
Rarely, MVP can cause complications such as arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) or infective endocarditis. Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of the heart chambers and valves. Bacteria that enter the bloodstream can cause the infection.
It is not uncommon at all to feel discomforts after open heart surgery. Your body has been through a very traumatic event. After my bypass, I watched the weeks go by, but feeling no improvement. You start to convince yourself that things will never improve. After three months, I started to notice a small improvement each day.
What was the reason for the ECG in the first place, are you having specific symptoms? If you have symptoms and you went to your normal Doctor, I would go to the hospital to be checked out if you are able to do that. When I feel anything strange with my heart I always bypass my regular Doctor and go to the expert.
I have had a dilated cardiomyopathy for thirty years from chemotherapy as a teenager. I have been on coreg and vasotec since early on and have been well controlled with my EF staying around 43-45%. The last year I have had decreased exercise tolerance and my EF has gone down to around 40%. I exercise regularly and am very frustrated that I can't run anymore. My resting HR is too low to increase the coreg and my BP too low to increase vasotec.
