Can Heart Scars Be Treated With Herbal Remedies?
.I just had a persantene test and an echo c/g. Dr says i am heavily scarred and need a pacemaker (by a different name). I am reading about food and herb remedies for dilating veins and lowering bp. I am now taking lopressor and lisinopril plus diuretic. When uncomfortable I take dark chocalate which relieves me well.

1. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the heart wall, researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that people whose muscle wall thickness contained more than 25 percent scar tissue were approximately nine times more likely to suffer from ventricular arrhythmia and/or arrhythmia related sudden death. [reason for pacemaker-heart defibrillator]
2. you may read or use alternative methods but remain under cardiac supervision and follow up regularly with baseline investigations.
