Can Exercise And Healthy Diet Reverse The Heart Artery Blockage?
I have been diagnosed with a 50 percent lad blockage. What should I be concerned with and will exercise and dieting change the blockage. Also I used a monitor for 24 hours and there were thousands of pvc s over normal which also led to a angiogram that found the lad blockage. How concerned should I be about the pvc s?
