OCTOBER 31, 2024
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Persistent high blood pressure forces the heart to work harder to pump blood. Echocardiogram An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce a detailed image of the heart, allowing doctors to see the size of the heart chambers and how well the heart is pumping blood.

Yes, COVID-19 symptoms can resemble a heart attack, including chest pain, shortness of breath, and changes in echocardiogram or EKG. However, angiograms often reveal no major blockage in the heart’s blood vessels, indicating a different mechanism. Myocarditis symptoms can also mimic a heart attack, and small blood clots may cause pain.

On arrival, blood pressure was 165/94 mmHg and blood glucose was 108 mg/dL. Remaining work‐up including A1c, LDL, urine drug screen, EKG, transthoracic echocardiogram, and telemetry was unrevealing other than for an LDL of 152. His NIHSS was 6. Routine EEG showed moderate generalized showing.

In Ischaemic strokes, there is some sort of blockage either in the major vessels that take the blood (this is called large vessel atherosclerosis) to the brain or even in the smaller vessels (called small vessel occlusion). Another way of imaging the heart is via a transesophageal echocardiogram. This is the link to the video.

Infections and inflammation of the heart eg myocarditis will cause acute inflammation of the heart and therefore may compromise the pumping ability of the heart Conditions such as high blood pressure will make the heart work harder and as it does so it will become more muscular.
