Is Working Of Only One Artery After Massive Heart Attack Serious?
Hi there my grandfather suffered from a massive heart attack 16 years a ago and had a triple bypass he had an other heart a week ago and was told stents are a no go with open heart surgery out of the question, he only has one artery working and has been told they will change his pills and send him home. What does this mean and how long does he have left as no one has asked this question?
With only one artery supplying blood to the heart,the heart's pumping is likely to be seriously compromised. Hence his activities will get limited and chances of life threatening cardiac complications run high.
