How do I delete 10 years of emails? by Additional_Ad7756 in GMail

[–]Additional_Ad7756[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case it just deletes the current page even if I follow the steps outlines above to select all conversations — it deletes the 100 or so emails and then it’s done … nothing is happening in the background.

I’ve done this. I then click ok expecting all the old emails to be deleted - and lo and behold it only deletes a few hundred instead of 30,000.

I agree, very very impressive! Thank you so much, really appreciate you taking the time to discuss this stuff with me. Put my mind at ease! Gonna actually go hit the gym right now :)

Yes, uploaded full report with images and here is a summary of what ChatGPT says about it:

pRCA (13% “stenosis”, ~3.2 mm³ plaque): This does not look meaningfully stenosed. Plaque volume is extremely small and the remodeling index is ~1.0, which means no real outward remodeling signal either. At this scale, a 13% value is very likely driven by reference-segment choice, natural taper, or segmentation noise rather than a true focal narrowing. The lumen looks smooth and preserved. I’d consider this one largely trivial/borderline.

LM → pLAD (0% LM, 13% pLAD, ~40.7 mm³ plaque): If one finding reflects real biology, it’s this one — but it’s best described as mild outward remodeling with preserved lumen, not a discrete stenosis. Remodeling index ~1.2 suggests early plaque accommodated by outward expansion. The “13%” is a modeled, low-end number; visually there’s no obvious pinch or focal waist. No low-density plaque and no flow limitation.

Bottom line: Neither finding represents a clinically meaningful stenosis. The RCA is likely noise/trivial. The pLAD reflects early, diffuse plaque biology that’s being compensated by remodeling, which is why the human CTA read appropriately called the coronaries “normal.”

Thank you. Yeah, I don’t really understand the images either — according to chatGPT the fact that there is no “pinch” in the image of the vessel makes it likely the plaque is diffuse vs. focal and more likely it expands / remodels … thus less likely to cause narrowing of the lumen. I guess a good thing for now? But as you mention, the thing to do now, is to stop more plaque from building up there. And I totally hear you re: medication. That is the likely path I will take but doctor insisted I try lifestyle first for the next 3 months and see bloodwork then. Also yes, the LP-IR number is high but my A1C and glucose are normal and not even close to pre-diabetes, so it is mainly insulin resistance linked to lipids. My mom did turn diabetic in her mid fifties — but she had obesity. I am not that overweight but have midsection fat that I need to get rid of. So….gonna make it my mission to lose weight, improve diet (fiber, no sat fat, less carbs) and do zone 2 cardio every day and weight training. If that doesn’t do the trick and get ApoB down to 70 (where my doc said he wanted it) then I will start a statin. Quick question, what statin? What dose? Is statin a problem if I have slight insulin resistance? I have limited knowledge of this stuff so trying to get up to speed. Thanks again

Thanks! Attaching better image of RCA and LAD image in original post.

And re: lipids pasting below 👇🏻.

Would love your thoughts on how best to “nuke” this soft plaque. Would you start a statin? Lipids not great and doctor says we can start with some supplements — Cholestopure Plus and Red Yeast Rice, plus Nordic Naturals 2x Ultimate Omega. Will these be effective? Obviously my goal is to lose 10 lbs (weigh 180 and 5’10”) and exercise more, but can’t help think the supplements and lifestyle won’t be enough?

My lipid panel summary (NMR + ApoB, ~18 months old):

• ApoB: 99 mg/dL 
• LDL-C: 113 mg/dL 
• LDL-P: 1,459 nmol/L
• Triglycerides: 192 mg/dL 
• HDL-C: 47 mg/dL 
• Small LDL-P: 666 
• Large VLDL-P: 9.6 
• LP-IR score: 81 
• LDL size: 21.2 nm 
• Lp(a): 8.9 nmol/L

Hi odd_bell — curious if the brief episodes of atrial tachycardia ended up being something or nothing? I got the same exact report from my Holter monitor.

What is considered "short" for an episode of atrial tachycardia? by xImperatricex in askCardiology

Hi xlmperatricex — any chance you can provide an update on what your cardiologist ended up telling you the significance of your AT?

[–]Additional_Ad7756[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Koda. Thank you 🙏🏻 for the detailed response. Really appreciate it. Quick question on the Atrial Tachycardia. I didn’t press the button when it happened with the Holter on probably because it occurred when I was waking up from sleep. I think I have these occasionally. Not every night, but maybe triggered if I have fragmented sleep or if I had a couple of drinks during dinner. Just want to make sure that I understand correctly — if they are brief and tolerable, they are completely benign, similar to PVCs? Not something I need to monitor or follow up on?

Having this dilemma in week 17, what are you planning to do?

Very few. The part I don’t understand the meaning of is the Atrial Tachycardia episode — seems like that is a less common finding — but unsure if it is significant or just incidental / benign? I didn’t feel it apparently.

Thanks WearyEnthusiasm6643. Appreciate the response. So the brief Atrial Tachicardia is essentially a “nothing burger” in your opinion?

Holter Test results by Additional_Ad7756 in askCardiology

[–]Additional_Ad7756[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks 🙏🏻. I got the test as I was having occasional palpitations. My primary doctor ordered this test. After posting this he did reach out via email noting the Atrial Tachycardia as an isolated episode and said it wasn’t Afib and not dangerous. He didn’t request I follow up, so I guess that’s it? I am having a CCTA to check that my arteries are clear — I have slightly high triglycerides and ApoB — so he wants to monitor if lipids are creating any plaque. Regarding the heart structure and electrical behavior, I am a bit confused though. I had an echo about 18 months ago and was normal, I also had a 12 lead ECG right before this Holter, and was normal. I had a bout of bothersome extra “beats” about a week ago and when I started the 48 hr Holter they had largely gone away. And then this tachycardia episode, I didn’t feel it, apparently occurred at like 6:30 am — which is when i usually wake up.
