Heart Blockage In A Insulin Dependent Patient

My father s age is 64 yrs and is a diabetic insulin-dependent patient and he had suffered from minor myocardial infarction 10 months ago.He doesn t want to go for operation but he wants to get it treated by medications only to remove the blockage of heart .My father had done angiography and it showed that there is 70 %-80% heart blockage at 3 locations .2 blocks at right and 1 block at the left. Do medications help in this situation.

Hello,
It is called triple vessels disease. In this case, genrally medication can not reverse the situation . it is advisable to follow the instructions of cardiologist and if he suggest for bipass than it is inevitable.

Thanks.

Hello There..
Welcome to healthcare Magic forum..
Your father is having a Triple Vessel disease of the heart. The amount of blockage which you have mentioned needs surgical eventually and its difficult to manage though medications.
I would advice you consult a CTVS and discuss further management of your father..
Hope this helps!!
Take care!!

Keep aside the percentage of blockage. check what is the LVEF%? If it is normal, he can live with Ayurveda medication, change in diet and life style. Check www.noninvasivesolution.com for more help.
