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?
Cardiac Surgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

Some people have a congenital anomaly characterized by the lack of an LSVC. It is usually not considered as alarming in itself and may have no serious clinical implications. Tthe person should talk about this finding with their healthcare provider – preferably a cardiologist ― so that it will be properly recorded in his or her medical history and to exclude any related anomalies or implications pertaining specifically for him or her.

Sir with all normal heart reports DEcho TMT negative can anyone face cardiac arrest as some one told me cardiac can come to any one anywhere is it true sir please help..
Female | 33
With Normal heart reports on DEcho and TMT, there’s a minimal probability of cardiac arrest. But one should bear in mind that cardiac arrest may happen to anyone, anywhere and even people with no previous history of their heart being affected by any illness. Any signs and symptoms including chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations should be referred to a cardiologist for an evaluation.

Male | 42
The symptoms you described seem arduous. Shortness of breath, dizziness, discomfort in the chest region, and pain on the left side often indicate cardiac complications. In certain instances, despite normal test results, cardiovascular issues persist. The medications prescribed aim to regulate elevated blood pressure levels. However, consulting a cardiologist once more might provide valuable insights.

Male | 14
With the highest electricity setting on an EMS massager for 5 minutes, your heart can get hurt even if you do not have any heart conditions. Preventing to use of any electric device near your chest, especially without medical supervision, is crucial. You should see a cardiologist immediately if you have any heart-related symptoms.

My father is suffering from sever triple blockage in arteries, admitted to hospital but as he is a obese person they refuse to do cabg he weighed 92 kg now,they have put one stent but 2 arteries are left with 100 % blockage, is there any problem in future ,can he do regular activities ,he is an advocate . please beg you answer this .Is there any issues found that 2 blocked arteries ???
As per my understanding, the patient seems to have triple vessel disease and the doctor has put one stent, but two other arteries having 100% blockage are left untreated. The ideal treatment for triple vessel disease is CABG, but there may be some more underlying factors due to which the cardiologist may have advise against CABG. You can always take a second opinion from other cardiologists, who on evaluating the patient and the reports will guide and clear all your doubts. Consult some of the Best Cardiologists in Mumbai, or any other city. Hope our answer helps you.

Is it possible to get any advice on a heart related issue. I will put diagnosis down. Large pseud o aneurysm left ventricle coutanid rupture.
Male | 66
A big bulging area in the heart's main pumping chamber might burst, creating problems. Squeezing chest pains, skipped heartbeats, breathing trouble; those are signs something's off. An earlier heart attack or operation sometimes causes this condition. Get urgent care from a cardiologist who'll prescribe meds or operate, preventing worse issues if it ruptures.

Male | 18
You seem to have intense chest agony and muscle spasms creating a hole near your chest. These indications could come from angina, where your heart lacks blood. Relax, breathe deeply, remain calm. If pain worsens or continues, immediately visit the closest hospital for urgent care.

Seeny mein bohat pain Hy plz help
Male | 21
Perhaps your muscle strain caused the soreness, or maybe acid reflux triggered heartburn. However, chest pain could signify heart troubles too. When you experience tightness, pressure, or pain there, relax undisturbed. Yet if symptoms worsen rapidly, see a cardiologist right away.

Hi doctor my name is Lakshmi Gopinath I have two hand pain and heart pain in two side.what is the solution.
Female | 23
These signs may indicate a condition known as angina which occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen. This results in discomfort or pressure around the chest; it may also radiate down the arm, up into the neck or back. If these are the symptoms you’re experiencing, then it’s important to get medical help right away because angina could mean that there is something wrong with your heart. Treatment options for angina include medicines, and lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise; sometimes surgery or other procedures might be necessary too if they can help improve blood flow to the heart.

Please seek a detailed opinion of a cardiologist with your echo report and discuss your critical concern of LV inflow doppler relaxation pattern. It may be typo error, but you still have to be sure about it and seeking your doctor's professional help will be a good idea.
