A positive Treadmill Test signifies the necessity to proceed cardiac evaluation. It would be wise to visit a cardiologist who can carry out further tests such as echocardiogram or coronary angiography in order to establish the root cause. The cardiologist will help you understand what happens next, providing customized and effective treatment for your heart health.

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.

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.

I am 38 years old male runner and training for marathon,, but on some days while running I lose my energy and feel dizzy and unable to continue, sudden hunger and my strength completely fades for about a quarter of an hour and then I continue. I noticed that my blood pressure drops through examination (80/40) so I did blood tests, ECG, chest x-ray, sinus x-ray and everything is good. What can be the cause, and what should I check next?

These symptoms could be due to factors like dehydration, low blood sugar, electrolyte imbalance, overexertion, or cardiovascular issues not detected by routine tests.

There is no such guaranteed medicine for DCMP LVEF. And to start the course of treatment, physical examinations and tests are required.

I have been experiencing indigestion and gas formation for the last 4-5 days Through this period, along with uneasiness of the stomach area, I also have uneasiness towards the left chest/heart area Just wanted to mention I've totally stopped smoking like a week ago, maybe this is the withdrawal symptom of tightness in chest and gas formation - but wanted to be sure it is no cardiac concern Thanks
Male | 26
It is possible that your symptoms are due to indigestion and gas; however, given the discomfort you feel directed left chest/heart side of cardiac concerns should be ruled out. It is advisable that you go to a cardiologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, stick to foods that reduce indigestion and gas production.
