Question 1

mri states: very localised inferoseptal mid wall fibrosis at mid ventricular level. 
and a focal stripe of septal fibrosis. is this dangerous? i get pvcs. can i continue lifting weights?

Accepted Answer

: You will have to ask the doctor who ordered the study that question as he has your clinical results to complete the required examination. Good Luck

Question 2

cardiac mri stated localised inferoseptal mid wall fibrosis at mid ventricular level and septal fibrosis. cardiologist didn't seem worried but are my pvcs dangerous?

Accepted Answer

: Isolated PVCs that all look the same are usually not dangerous. PVCs that come in groups and/or look different are more concerning. Have you had a Holter monitor done to see how often you have these PVCs and to be certain they all look the same? That may be something to pursue with your cardiologist if it has not been done yet. Good luck to you!

Question 3

Question 5

cardiac mri stated localised inferoseptal mid wall fibrosis at mid ventricular level aswell as a focal stripe of septal mid wall fibrosis at mid ventricular level. i have pvcs, are my pvc dangerous with this fibrosis?

Accepted Answer

: PVC's in the presence of structural heart disease can be very serious&amp;should be investigated by a cardiologist who specializes in electrophysiology. Abnormalities of myocardial contraction as well as presence of coronary artery disease favor serious&amp;complex ventricular arrhythmias. Tests: Outpatient monitoring, echocardiogram, EKG,treadmill stress testing&amp;possible pinpointing where PVC's emanate

Question 6

can someone be diagnose with cystic fibrosis in their 40's?

Accepted Answer

As a carrier: Genetic carrier testing:
more than 10 million americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. This blood test can help detect carriers, who could pass CF onto their children. To have cystic fibrosis, a child must inherit one copy of the defective CF gene from each parent.

Question 7

i have family members with cystic fibrosis. is it possible to start show the symptoms in my 20's?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: It is not likely.  CF manifests during childhood, most often in infants,  however, there are some forms of CF that are not diagnosed until later in adulthood (even though symptoms would have started in childhood).  These particular forms of CF result in frequent sinus or upper respiratory infections, and can be incorrectly "written off" as chronic sinusitis or upper respiratory disease.

Question 8

what are the chances of a child getting cystic fibrosis among the different racial groups in the u.s.?

Accepted Answer

Overall 1/3700: Acording to the CF foundation: the overall birth prevalence is 1/3700 . It can occur in any race, however the greatest incidence is in caucasians of northern european descent, being 1/2500. The other major groups affected are hispanics 1/13500, african americans 1/15000.
More than 10 million of us carry one part of the defective gene, but to have the disease you must have a copy from both parents.

Question 9

how to cure mayoma fibrosis?

Accepted Answer

Myoma Fibroids?: There are many options.  Hysterectomy is the definitive solution.   Myomectomy, magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound surgery (mrgfus or fus) (eg, exablate® 2000), uterine artery embolizaiton, endometrial ablation are other options.  There are medical options such as with hormonal therapy.  A competent gynecologist should be discuss these options.

Question 10

hi doctors, can you tell me what is retropertineal fibrosis?

Accepted Answer

It is characterized by the presence of inflammatory and fibrous retroperitoneal tissue that often encases the ureters &amp; other abdominal organs.
