Eric M Gnall DO's Expert Contributions
Does aspirin reduce plaque in arteries?
No, but it can reduce the burden of blood clot that forms over a ruptured plaque. This can reduce the chance of them becoming large enough to fill the entire artery and causing no flow, hence myocardial infarction. READ MORE
What causes atrial septal defect?
During Development the walls the atrium grow in stages, part of this is to allow oxygenated blood from mom to bypass the lungs of the fetus which cannot work until delivery and the baby inhales air. There are different patterns of failure of the system to grow and then close correctly. Small defects or holes take longer to cause symptoms and thus adults usually have smaller defects. READ MORE
What do echocardiograms detect?
Echo is a screen for Heart Function and shape and Valve Function. Does not see the coronary arteries. READ MORE
Are heart diseases heriditary?
Depends on the diagnosis of your parents. The type of weak heart or "Cardiomyopathy" is usually divided between "ischemic" - caused by lack of blood flow due to coronary artery disease and "non-ischemic," which has a variation of causes including genetic. If it was from heart attacks, then the goal is to identify why they had heart attacks and focus on them, i.e., smoking, familial hypercholesterolemia, etc. READ MORE
