Hello!
Thank you for asknig on HCM!
Your complains raises strong suspicions of probable ischemic cardiac pain.
Recurrent episodes of
chest pain for minutes, especially when being on physical axtivity, need a comprehensive differential diagnosis to rule out cardiac
ischemia.
At this point, I would advice you to perform a medical check up, a physical examination to identify your
heart failure status, coupled with a resting ECG and some blood tests (including cardiac enzymes like CK-MB, Troponin).
If any suspicions is confirmed, then a cardiac
ultrasound and an exercise stress testing would be helpful.
Obviously a modulation of heart failure therapy, as well as additional anti-ischemic medications may be needed.
If all the above diagnostic work up confirm ongoing cardiac ischemia, then a coronary
angiography is necessary to conclude about the concrete coronary lesions and possible revascularisation options.
Hope to have been helpful. Greetings! Dr. Iliri
