Suggest Treatment For Small Myocardial Infarction
Hi Doctor, My father is 63 years old. 2 days back he suffered a chest pain for a long time when he was walking for quite sometimes. He did some chest examinations and after he was shown a cardiologist he told that apart from a blockage in heart there is a small miocadial infarction. I don't stay with him and i really don't know what is the his health condition and what is the immediate doable for him. He is fine now. Some medicines are given. I don't understand was it a heart attack because the doctor haven't told like that. I stay in Bangalore and he is in Kolkata. Could you please suggest me the immediate doable and places in Kolkata/Bangalore where treatments would be good. Regards, Rita

Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that your father,s symptoms are suggesting that he has an heart attack ( Myocardial Infarction ) , means he must be have blocked coronary arteries that caused a myocardial infarction and an evaluation and management is required to support heart functions and to avoid complications of a heart attack.
Kindly get his ECG, echocardiography done and consult with a Cardiologist for diagnostic evaluation by Angiography. Further treatment will depend on angiography result.
Hope to have been Helpful.
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
