What Are The Chances Of Heart Attack Having 50% Blockage In Heart?
I have insignificant blockage , less than 50% , as per report of CT- Angiogram , I am continuing medicine as per advice of cardiologist. I am a diabetic patient , Is there any chance of heart attack or increase of blockage ? I am afraid of my health, as feeling chest pain off and on. S. Das
Pain Medicine & Palliative Care Specialist, Dr. Sabiha Banu's Response
hi insignificant blockage means that the blockage is mild. it is usually controlled by drugs,like anti-platelets,anti-cholesterol drugs so that the blockage should not increase. in diabetic patients there are more chances of cardiac problems. please control your diet, sugar levels,reduce oily foods & stress. please continue with the cardiac medications regularly. all the best, take care.
