Dr. Helen: I applaud you for using the internet to bring together good questions and knowledgeable responses. Is this the "new math" of the millennium, in which "2 + 2 really does = 5"?
Hello Dr Helen
Thank you for the kind link to hmatter. That should be the last of the questions you sent us. Anyone who has any questions still yet to be answered is of course welcome to drop by and leave us an email/a comment and we will try to answer as many as possible. The blog is run by a currently practicing cardiologist so everyday details like patients and illnesses will still have to take priority.
Thanks again.
Please explain the term "elongated aorta" and what is the cause of it.
Thank you.
Hello, My 20 year old son was just told that he has an electrical problem with his heart is this the same as an arrhythmia. They want to do an electrical study but he does not want to do it. His heart beats fast sometimes and he has palpitations. Is he in immediate danger of something bad happening? Also I have suffered with similar an I was told I have an arrhythmia and not to worry if It does not bother me too much. Is this hereditary.

I am concerned with clot formation, and unknown cause of Afib. I do not want to be one of those nurses who think she knows it all but I do not wish to loose my father., Is there really no danger in surgery while you are in afib? Or should I get 2nd opinion?
