Can Medication Be Used To Control Ischemia?

Can medication be used to control moderate per infarct eschemia with no wall motion abnormalities and an ejection fraction of 72%. I had a stent put in in 2000 and I am being told to have an angiogram ASAP and "probably" have the stent cleaned out. I am 72, obese and have family history of heart problems - attacks, strokes, cerebral hemorrhage, etc. I do water aerobics class for exercise since walking makes me short-of-breath in a very short distance. I do not experience shortness of breath with the water aerobics class.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Asad Riaz, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.
IHD disease one of major issue now a days, ishchmeic can be controlled by Antioschemic med but it's not necessarily that u r in these med u won't have heart prob but by using these med ur chance of having ischemia are very very low, as u already have family history n obese n having heart disease which may lead to Dec heart function if not treated properly .. if u were my patient I would like to do so tests like BLIs , c X-ray to rule out chest infection do echo if it's more than 1 year ago to see heart functioning n valve is okay , n ETT to see if u have new ichemia or perfusion scan .. if these came abnormal then go for c.angio n stent if needed n then also optimise Tx to make sure u have no more symptoms
I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.

Regards.
