My husband is 59 and has had 2 heart attacks, 7 stents total. Has a 60% blockage in left venticle. He is not a heavy drinker but Dr. really does not want him to drink at all.His last stress test they said he had a 39%(I forget waht they called it) but to do with the pumping. why do they not want him to drink at all and what is his risk of more heart attacks (he smokes) and the last attack the stent itself was full of clots

Unfortunately he has significant risk factors for future cardiac events, including heart attacks that can be fatal. I would advise him to follow his provider's recommendations, stop smoking and be compliant with his medications.
