Should someone be concerned if their doctor states in their file after an echocardiogram that "a left superior vena cava is not present"? Is this a good or bad thing?
Male | 5
The absence of a left superior vena cava is a rare anatomical variation where the vein is not located in its usual position. It is generally considered a normal variant and not inherently good or bad. While it usually doesn't cause health issues, it can bring challenges during certain medical procedures.

I would advise you to take urgent medical assistance if you have experienced chest pain for 5 days. Chest pain can be caused by a condition as bad as a heart attack. It is necessary to visit a cardiologist for a correct diagnosis and a treatment plan.

Left side chest pain under break
Female | 36
Chest pain beneath your left breast can have many causes. Maybe it's muscle strain or heartburn. Maybe even anxiety. But sometimes the heart triggers the pain. If you also have shortness of breath, arm pain, or jaw pain, seek emergency medical care. This could signal a serious heart condition. Until seeing a cardiologist, stay calm and avoid strenuous activity. Resting can stop the pain from worsening.

My open heart surgery done in 1st Jan.2018.in left arm always pain persist. whole body became hard. what is matter.
As per my understanding you are having left arm pain post CABG, also your body becomes stiff. Whenever a patient is having Left arm pain espically with history of CAD, the first thing is to rule out cardiac pathology. Immediately visit a cardiologist. He will carefully evaluate the current condition of the patient. Differentiate between cardiac causes and non cardiac cause of left arm pain. Non cardiac causes can be treated medically; in case of cardiac causes a detailed evaluation is needed. Some diagnostic test may also be done to know the exact cause and decide on the treatment. Consult a cardiologist. Hope our answer helps you. For cardiologists, visit this page, it may help - 10 Best Cardiologist in India.

Female | 51
There is no such guaranteed medicine for DCMP LVEF. And to start the course of treatment, physical examinations and tests are required. For a healthy diet, you can include lots of fruits, vegetables, lean meats and whole grains. Meditation, light exercise or yoga may also help you reduce stress which will eventually benefit your health.

I am 32 years old. I'm 21 weeks pregnant. In anomaly scan, intra cardiac echogenic focus in the left ventricle. Is it serious problem.
Female | 32
This is not usually a big deal. It is common and mostly harmless. Also, it can resolve on its own without causing any problems for your child. Therefore, ensure you have regular visits to your gynecologist for further observation and to confirm everything is alright with the pregnancy.

Can you tell me the meaning of cardiovascular infection in your lung with no pneumonia?
Male | 77
The term "cardiovascular infection in the lung with no pneumonia" is not a recognized medical diagnosis. Infections in the lung are usually classified as respiratory infections, and cardiovascular issues related to the heart and blood vessels. To gain a clear understanding of your condition, talk to your nearest cardiologist who can provide an accurate diagnosis.

Male | 40
Both HCTZ and chlorthalidone are used to treat high blood pressure and water retention. But chlorthalidone is known to have a longer duration of action and a higher potency compared to HCTZ. It is recommended to consult your cardiologist if you are experiencing any changes in your blood pressure or other symptoms after switching medications.

I am some problem in my chest
Male | 25
There could be many reasons for this. Sometimes it's just a case of indigestion or heartburn caused by eating too fast or consuming foods that don't agree with us. Another frequent reason is acid reflux, characterized by a burning feeling in the chest. Stress or anxiety might also be considerations since they can sometimes affect the chest. Eating smaller meals more often and avoiding fatty, spicy foods is advisable. If the matter persists seek medical help to rule out anything serious.
