Suggest Treatment For Heart Disease & Hypertension

I am a 51 yr old female diabetic with controlled hypertension. A few months ago I had to go to the ER with sudden elevated blood pressure. In October I was admitted to the hospital with elevated heart enzyme levels and arm and mouth numbness. They did a heart cath and found 90% blockage in the widow maker artery and blockge in another. They did a double by pass heart surgery. About a week later I had an episode at home, returned to the hospital for another heart cath resulting in a stent. Last week I had congestive heart failure, was treated with diuertics and underwent another heart cath. It was found that I have had a heart attack and all grafts have occluded. They said they want to se medicine therapy until my heart is strong enough for possible bypass later. I am concerned that whatever caused my arteries to occlude will do so again. I know there must be hospitals that deal with these types of serious cases???
