Hi, Looking at your height you have a perfect weight and bmi. However there can be many other reasons for hypertension. It would take your body a while to settle down with a new anti hypertensive as it has to adjust with your body's metabolism. Now the question regarding lvh(left ventricular hypertrophy). It had ocurred because your heart had to face excessive pressure to force the same amount of blood in your body due to hypertension. Now as you will start controlling your hypertension or as ...

Ok, I believe I have read or am understanding from reading on the internet that 3 days after a right femur angiogram that it is possibly a subcuteneous hematoma. See 3 days after my angiogram my right testcle is very tender and sore and the area from the testicle to slighly lower the angiogram injection site. I have a little bruising on the lower part of my penis to the right part of the scrotum. Could this be a hematoma or just accidental damage due to the 30 min press they use after tge surgery to make aure the femur doesnt bleed? This evening i also got a tight constricting feeling on my left femur artery in my left thigh. I have been recently diagnoised with heart failure and no blockage, but with an ef of 12%. I'm a 45 year old male. I need to make a follow up appt anyway so i guess tomorrow I will do that and discuss my syptoms to my Cardiologist. Thanks Craig

Thanks for your query toehead. I don't think you have a fracture in femur. Probably there is an injury. The area need to be examined for proper diagnosis. Consult with your doctor as soon as possible. Thanks ...

My father is 53 yrs old. He had been diagnosed with Coronary artery disease ,TMT positive,Diabetes Mellitus CT Coronary Angiogram showed High calcium score,Single Branch Vessel disease.His heart was said to be very healthy so far. A 100% blockage and 80% blockage of the arteries had been detected and collateral ways have been formed.He has not faced any symptoms of Angina so far.At the long run , anything can happen which is very sure.Could you please suggest what should be done - Bypass or Angioplasty and is it an emergency which needs to be right away?

blockage more then 75% has to be opened according to American and European recomendations. The thing that collaterals are formed and he doesn't have symptoms, on the one hand is good, it's not an amergency situatuon, but on the other hand as some diabetics can't feel pain as hard as healthy people, the real clinical picture can hide and so better not to loose time!. As for the choice between bypass surgery and angioplasty, there are some criteria (number of vessels blocked, which vessels are bl ...

My Uncle has suffered a severe heart attack on Sunday. He is 69 years of age. He was admitted to Nanavati Hospital at 9.30 pm. Angiography was performed at 11.30 pm and there were three blocks detected in the arteries. The % of blocks were 100%, 90% and 70% respectively. Angioplasty was performed on the artery which had 100% block. The angioplasty was successfully. We would like to seek your opinion on the remaining further treatment. We would like to seek your appointment. Kindly give your appointment.

More then 75% stenosis (block) is indication for angioplasty according to American and European reccomendations. So I would reccomend you to do immediate angioplasty of the vessel which has 90% block. As for 70% block, he needs carefull monitoring of his heart, that means to take all prescribed medications on time (because medications decrease the risk of complications and improve patient's health), to visit cardiologist periodically, but if he has some cardiologic symptoms such as chest pain, s ...

I have just underwent angioplasty in last month. Three Blocks were found Middle was 100% for which angioplasty was performed. The remaining two have shown 80 to 95 % blocks. Whether I have to go for another angioplasty or these blocks can be removed through medicines and changing life style. Please suggest how to go about it. There are many people sharing different experience and confusing. However one common thing I have noticed among many people that these blocks can be cured through Ayurveda medicines and most popular is advised is ARJUNARISHT. Presently I am on main medicine named as BRILLINTA 90. Pl. advice how to go about it.

More then 75% stenosis of blood vessel is indication for angioplasty acording to American and European recommendations and are considered critical, that means that angioplasty must be done! there doesn't exist a medication which will help more then 75% block. And these blocks, if are not cured on time can lead to infarction! BRILLINTA is a medication which makes your blood thinner, it doesn't have any influence on blocks. Visit your cardiologist and do whatever he/she advices, because 80%, 95% a ...
