Brief Answer:
Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello
The prognosis is good as both the echo and TMT is normal as of now. Prognosis depends upon the compliance of the patient that how well he follow the advice of the doctor, whether the patient take medicine properly or not, does he continue to smoke or not.
Complications that can arise in future includes another heart attack, pump failure, cardiac arrhythmias etc, but it’s very difficult to say who will develop those complications.
After angioplasty some patients lives a near normal life throughout and some develop complications very early.
Kind Regards
