Can Any Online Doctor Help Me With The Diagnosis Results Of My Father?
Hi, my father is 87 years old and has been diagnosed with the following; Needs to replace left arterial valve, needs a tripple bypass due to; 2 arterys are 90% and 1 is at 75%. The main artery in the center of his heart is at 90%. Also, has kidney disease....He has exercised for several years up until about 2 years ago. Whew! What are his risks?

Hi,
Risks are very severe, as 3 arteries are blocked more than the permissible limit and left valve is incompitent. There is very high chance of chest pain followed by cardiac arrest. Muscles of heart itself not getting enough blood and oxygen to work properly. You haven't mentioned about the kidney disease.
Follow your treating doctor's advise.
