How To Treat Heart Blockage Naturally?

My mom was recently diagnosed with a 99.9% blockage in one of the smaller arteries in her heart. They tried to place a stent, but it was so blocked, the balloon wouldn t fit in order to place the stent. MD said that it s one of the arteries that connect to the bottom of her heart. Advised that the bottom of her heart is still pumping strong, but they can t clear the blockage in the artery. What is the next step if the stent wouldn t go in? my mom has lung issues, so the MD does not want to consider open heart surgery, as he doesn t think she would be able to ever come off of the ventilator. are there natural options that we can use to help get her heart stronger? medication for 6 months and then another attempt at the stent? is this type of blockage life threatening?

Hi,

Antioxidants are the agents which fights against the free radicals. It helps to clear the clogged arteries and restart the blood flow normally. Pomegranate juice without added sugar proven to be very effective in coronary artery blockage. Citrus fruits are rich in antioxidants. Planned diet from a dietitian helps to further hyperlipidemia and cholesterolemia. Repeat angiogram helps to identify the amount of blockage in the coronary artery.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
