Hi,
Have you discussed the option of Stenting with cardiologist, in one or few of the vessel. In weak heart doctors usually perform a test called as rest redistribution thallium test and if it shows benefit then they will do either bypass or stent. Also discuss the option of ICD or CRT device with your cardiologist which are life saving in weak heart patient. Also, regular medicine and healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according to your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week.
Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't be abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Sagar Makode
