Suggest Treatment For Heart Attack And Main Artery Block

My husband had a heart attack 5 weeks ago. There was a 100% block in the main artery. He flatlined twice. He is 47 years old was a smoker and quit, had high colesteral but on pills for it. In the last 5 weeks he has been drunk about 6 or 7 times and drinks anywhere between 2 and 4 drinks a day. Is this a concern?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
yes alcohol intake in this amount will definitely cause health problems and give rise to another disorder usually related to liver.
he must avoid alcohol .
continue following-
tab aspirin 300 mg once daily
tab clopidogrel 75mg once daily
tab atorvastatin 40mg once daily .
take appointment of your cardiac surgeon and radiologist .
get his coronary angiography done
you can opt surgical treatment as per advice of cardiac surgeon-
if block is not huge they may suggest angioplasty
if block is huge they will suggest CABG coronary angio bypass graft surgery.
you should keep glycerylnitrate tablet (sublingually taken) reserved for any acute and sudden chest pain in emergency.
