Brief Answer:
Treatment is in the right track.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the echo report.
There is some decline in the pumping action of heart along with thickening of heart chamber and valve. It is quite common among individuals above sixty and is arising out of age related wear and tear. There is no signs of heart failure or life threatening problems.
Nothing much to worry and your treatment is in the right track. The aspirin is a blood thinner and it protects her from future heart attack and stroke.
As of now she can continue her routines. Nothing much to worry and no need to think about remaining days!!
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks

Thank you and last I want to know for how many days she has to take these medicine and will these medicine improve the daily wear tear of heart ?
Can this lead and change to heart failure in future as well?
I heard these medicine has side effects on other organs like kidney or liver of the body
Can these medicine cause damage or injury to liver or kidney?
