Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The diagnosis of variant angina and STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction) due to total occlusion of a vessel is not typically seen together. The documents you provided also do not mention that you have variant angina (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Please clarify how you concluded that you have variant angina. If you do have variant angina, calcium channel blockers can still be prescribed.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Before I answer your questions in detail, I would like to tell you that if she is totally symptom-free and her ejection fraction (EF) is 20 to 25 %, please do get another echo (echocardiogram) done from an independent reliable source to confirm the diagnosis. The condition of peripartum cardiomyopathy, or PPCMP, has no definite cure. A proportion of patients will completely recover, while some may have partial recovery and continue to have low ejection fraction and symptoms. Some unfortunate patients see no improvement and may not survive for long.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Palpitations in the absence of loss of consciousness, blackout, or sudden fall are not considered as malignant. Occasional non-recurrent palpitations may not be significant at all. Hence, you need to see if you have any of these alarming symptoms or if these palpitations are recurrent or not. On the background of a structurally normal heart, your normal ECG (electrocardiogram) and ECHO (echocardiogram) study (attachment removed to protect patient identity) with no other cardiac symptoms, absence of alarming symptoms, and absence of recurrence speak of a non-cardiac cause.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your query and reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Sharp pain is not a characteristic feature of anginal pain. In presence of normal TMT, ECHO, ECG and blood tests, especially if symptoms were not reproduced during TMT, the likelihood of pain in question to be anginal is very low. Your ECG does not show any significant ST, Q or T wave changes suggestive of heart attack.
