Suggest Treatment For Blocked Veins And Arteries Of Heart
I have had a quad cardiac bypass in July of 2007. Since the I have had 14 cardiac stents installed. My cardiologists and surgeons say my only chance is a heart transplant, but the transplant facility says my heart muscle is too good. This is true but my Dr. s are saying all my arteries and veins leading to the heart are almost completely closed. They say there isn t anything else they can do. I am only 59 years old. Is there anything else I can do. I m not ready to give up but things are not looking to good for me.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, look heart transplantation may not be good idea but instead of that some other option need to be think about like changing life style, grafting, medical management these would give the same results as you are going to have with heart transplantation, hope this information helps, take care.
