Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My father has been diagnose with CHF. He is in the hospital now and had an agiogram. The result were that he had a very leaky valve and bypass/valve surgery was recommended as an option. He has had a pacemaker for about 10 years. He is pretty tough. What should we do?
I understand your concern for your fathers health and i would like to advise you that the leaky valves could be contributing to the CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) of your father.
If you have any doubts with their treatment advise then you can go for a second opinion to another cardiologist personally as your father needs to be evaluated in person before making a decision.
Wish Him Good Health
