Dear lybrate user
Apart from medical treatment he also needs psychological help as stress fear anxiety etc plays an important role in most of the chronic diseases. Plus physical and mental relaxation is also required. So get him this mind therapy as well he will be benefitted for sure. Good luck.

Hello, HOCM is a condition when your heart muscles get thickened abnormally and creates issues. Dilzem is not the proper medicine for that, Better to take some other more effective medicines. Need to see your reports to give you exact guidence. Don't worry at all, you will be fine. Feel free to take my consultation on Lybrate.

My father had gone through AVR surgery in June 2018. After the surgery doctors advice to take acitrom 1 mg & 2 mg alternatively. After 3 months when we revisited the hospital doctors suggested to take acitrom 2 mg regularly. What does that mean? Is this indicate improvement in his health or deterioration?

As per the protocol It needs to be taken for a long time and maybe lifetime and there is no prognostic indicator involved

Asked for male, 77 years old from Greater Noida

My father is 78 years old. Recently he suffered high fever, was diagnosed perforated gallbladder causing fluid leakage, swelling and infection. Cluster of stones detected in ultrasound and CT Scan. He was admitted and fluid made to dry with medicine and antibiotics. He is now fit and normal. However, doctors advised gallbladder surgery as it will repeat the ailment. He is diabetic and has undergone heart bypass surgery in 2012. Presurgery tests - all ok except heart functioning at 28% (high risk). We are too much worried and confused as surgery is must. Is it ok to go ahead with surgery?

General Physician•Gurgaon

You can go ahead with surgery in a centre where there is cardiac backup like Medanta, Fortis or Apollo. Still it will be a high risk surgery.

Gallbladder adenocarcinoma with metastasis to liver to a person of age 56 .can it be cured. Symptoms-pain abdomen, weight loss and other general condition is Good.

Oncologist•Mumbai

Gall bladder cancer usually spreads to the liver by contiguous spread, which is curable although advanced (hence percent cured is less)
However if it has metastasised to the liver, then cure is unlikely and treatment is palliative.
I would be able to opine better if you could share the images. Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.

You must be hypertensive as this is one of the most common cause of LVH. If the thickness is not very high and you don't have a high diastolic dysfunction you don't have to worry.
In case if you are hypertensive then ace inhibitors or arb are the best suited medicine for you (if KFT and electrolytes are normal).

If you have hypertension, or take treatment for hypertension, meet a physician and keep BP under control. If mild hypertrophy is without hypertension, meet a mild cardiologist. Avoid meeting a severe cardiologist for mild hypertrophy.
