Suggest Alternative Treatment For Heart Disease
Hi, My mother had a heart attack on 30.09.2010 and she recovered it by completing 10 clexane injections after each 12 hrs with other medicines as prescribed by doctors during staying at Hospital. She has been now released. The doctor advised us to do Angiogram very shortly to know how many blockages are there. My mother troponin I level was found 180 by blood test which indicates must blockage. In the above scenerioe can you suggest what will we do now as we know during ring implementation, it has a chance to miss my mother whose age is now 57 years. Is there any alternative treatment without surgery?

Hello,
After attack, best treatment available for heart attack is angiography and angioplasty. As it will directly open the blocked arteries. Angiography is now a days a day care procedure and even after angioplasty patient are discharged on next day itself. So it's not a major procedure. Alternatively, medicines are also effective mode of management. She should be on multiple medicines like Aspirin, Clopidogre, L-Statin like Atorvastatin, Beta- Blocker like Metoprolol etc. and procedure can be delayed.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
Take Care!
