Question 1

not overweight, healthy diet, ef 55%, lv normal size & function, bp 119/63, (sob) stress results moderate to severe ischemia anterior/apical wall mostly reversible.  cath scheduled in 4 days. how bad?

Accepted Answer

Not horrible: Reversible ischemia is better than irreversible. You likely have plaque in one or more of your Coronary Arteries that is causing low blood flow to a particular part of u'r heart muscle during Stress=increase in metabolic demand and work for the heart. The Cath is the key, and they can correct the situation during the cath most of the time. There are exceptions where they would refer u to surgeon.

Question 2

nuclear stress w/ lexiscan shows moderate to severe ischemia anterior/apical wall. cath scheduled, doc thinks no blockage, why?  i have lbbb; no other defects lv normal size and function, 50% ef. y?

Accepted Answer

Cath= gold standard: The catheterization will identify any obstruction or blockage. Your EF is just fine.

Question 3

stress test stated moderate to severe ischemia anterior/apical. heart cath says stress test false p,no blocks,but mild elevated edp/lbbb. ef 55%. doc says nothing to worry about no restirctions. y?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: EF of 55% is normal. Your breathing issues are due to diastolic dysfunction, dys-synchrony, and (by inference as there are no direct tests) small vessel CAD. You're not at risk of a classical heart attack (MI). There are no restrictions. I would vigorously treat blood pressure with an ACE inhibitor, and urge you to use a statin regardless of cholesterol level, and take 81 mg of aspirin daily.

Asthma classificatio: Asthma is divided into categories based on a number of different things including symptoms and severity/frequency of symptoms, medications needed to relieve symptoms and frequency of their use, amount of decrease in pulmonary function among other things.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

It is not clear why: You want a gun. If you are moderately to severely depressed, it would not be wise to have a gun. Get help to deal with the depression.
