Can a patient who has undergone heart surgery a decade back experience acute heart failure?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern and will help you out. But first, I would like to know a few things.

1) What are the current symptoms the patient is having?

2) What is the age of the patient?

3) Is the patient a smoker?

4) What is the blood pressure and heart rate?

For now, these medicines are fine. They only have a mild effect on the liver and kidney. But to advise a better group of medicines, I will need the answer to these questions. So please respond with answers to these questions so that I can set the medication for the patient, and they can continue these medicines for a long period without any side effects on any major organs of the body.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The symptoms you have mentioned can be a sign of acute heart failure. Does your patient have swelling in the legs or face? Does he have pedal edema? I will advise you to get a 2D Echocardiography to look for the exact cause and find out the EF (ejection fraction) of the heart.

I also advise you to consult a specialist and take the following medications with their consent which will help your patient in the long run.

1) Capsule Ecosprin Gold 20 (Aspirin, Atorvastatin, and Clopidogrel) at night.

2) Tablet Met XL 25 (Metoprolol Succinate) once daily.

3) Tablet Melmet 250 (Metformin) twice daily.

4) Tablet Telmikind 20 (Telmisartan) once daily.

5) Tablet Cyra-D (Domperidone and Rabeprazole) once in the morning.

6) Tablet Dytor Plus (Spironolactone and Torasemide) once in the morning.

If the symptoms persist, you should also get kidney function tests, as increased creatinine can cause these symptoms. In addition, the diet should be in smaller portions and frequently taken. I hope this helps. Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
