Hello
It seems that your husband has angina. It is a condition that happen due to the narrowing of the arteries of the heart. It leads to low oxygen level reaching the muscles of the heart. We have to treat the cause and make the arteries wider. This can be done by putting stents inside the heart's arteries. This is an easy procedure nowadays inatead of the surgery.
