Question 1

from where i will get detailed information of e.c.g. changes in left ventricular failure?

Accepted Answer

No where : Lv failure (i assume you mean reduced pumping power) does not result in any specific ECG findings. In fact, the ECG can look completely normal! on the other hand, in many patients, a whole range of abnormalities can be seen, including evidence of prior heart attacks (myocardial infarctions), conduction system disease, thickening of the heart muscle (hypertrophy), etc. See your doctor.

Question 2

i've heard of heart failure but why is lvf (left ventricular failure) different?

Accepted Answer

LV failure: Heart failure is a general term used to describe when the heart is not functioning well enough to maintain normal organ function. Left ventricular failure refers specifically to dysfunction of the heart's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, which is responsible for supplying the body's organs with adequate blood flow to maintain their normal function. Symptoms differ depending on rvsl failur.

Question 3

what is meant by  decreased cardiac output related to left ventricular failure?

Accepted Answer

Sick muscle: The heart is supposed to pump out a certain amount with every heart beat, if that amount is too low, e.g. Low out put, the heart muscle is too weak to do it's job(failure).

Question 4

i have diagnosed with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.   i am confused as to what blood pressure medication will best slow this condition.?

Accepted Answer

Beta-blockers/ACEI: Diastolic properties in the heart are improved by slowing heart rate ( lengthens the time of diastolic filling and relaxing the muscle (to enhance compliance and improve dastolic filling).  Beta-blockers like Carvedilol have shown benefit in this setting as ave acei/arb agents.  Calcium blockers may also help nicely in this setting.  If diastolic failure, gentle diuresis might help.

Question 5

what is the antiarrythmic drug of choice for paroxysmal afib started before 1yr in 72yr male hypertensive with mild left ventricular hyper trophy ?

Accepted Answer

A-fib drugs: There are options for treating atrial fibrillation. 1) Use beta blockers &amp;/or calcium blockers to control the heart rate, but this does not prevent a-fib episodes. 2) Anti-arrhythmic drugs vary in effectiveness and side effects: amiodarone, sotalol, flecainide, and dofetilide are used. 3) An ablation procedure is another strategy.

Question 6

does left ventricular atrial fibrillation in te past wid medication hav a say on sex life. does impotency n premature ejaculation result from it.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Your question if it is what does the medicines to treat atrial fibillation can affect sex life ? Please clarify
the answer is yes 
betabloers especially can affect sex life.

Question 7

concentric left ventricular remodeling, aortic sclerosis with trivial aortic regurgitation, anterior mitral valve prolapse with mild mitral regurgitation, mild tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonary regurgitation
how can this be treated? what it means?

Accepted Answer

Cardiologist: While mitral valve prolapse with some regurgitation is not uncommon in your age group, scarring of the aortic valve isn't and warrants an evaluation by a cardiologist. I would prefer to see trivial regurgitation of the tricuspid and pulmonary valves in the report as mild regurgitation sounds more significant although in your case these valves are probably OK.

Question 8

what is the meaning of grade 1 left ventricular impairment?

Accepted Answer

Diastolic failure: The mildest form is called an "abnormal relaxation pattern", or grade i diastolic dysfunction. On the mitral inflow doppler echocardiogram, there is reversal of the normal e/a ratio. This pattern may develop normally with age in some patients, and many grade i patients will not have any clinical signs or symptoms of heart failure.

Question 9

is drug induced eps treatable?

Accepted Answer

EPS: Extra pyramidal symptoms are very treatable, mainly by adjusting the dose of the psychotropic medication, switching to another psychotropic with less eps side-effect, or adding medications to counter the side-effects such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or cogentin.

Question 10

is bursitis treatable with medication?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Nsaids (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like Ibuprofen and Naproxen sodium are common medications used to treat bursitis. Heat application, reduced use of the affected area, and targeted exercises are also commonly used.
