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.
I am a 44 year old male with a family history of hyperlipidemia and heart disease. My father had a AMI at age 50 and expired. His father expired at age 51 with an AMi. Both were sudden death. I had a Cardiac CTA yesterday which revealed a calcium score of 252. The report revealed a 70-80% blockage to the middle of the LAD with about 50% occlusion on both of the ends. Seeing a cardiologist tomorrow. What do you think the treatment will be for this?
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that this report is indicating significant blockage in heart arteries which need a treatment asap to prevent any unpleasant cardiac event.
Artery requires to to be either by coronary stenting or bypass, so kindly consult a cardiologist personally for timely treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Pratap
