What Is The Treatment For The Blockage In The Heart?
My dad just had angiogram and was told the bacl artery to his heart was blocked so bad that a stint was too high risk and a bypass was not an option because there was no where to tie in. He has had two previous bypasses and they are working fine. Doctors are going to try medication to releive his symptoms of dizziness, shortness of breath, and headaches. How long does someone with this problem typically live?

Hello,
One can live a pretty long life provided he responds to medicine and he is properly taking the medication. He should also follow healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week.
Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, and avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
