What Does This Angiography Report Signify?

My father went through a Angiography test today (he had a heart attack on Sunday night).

The results show 95.8 percent blockage in one artery.

Will it be absolutely necessary to get angioplasty done or it can be taken care of by medication? Please suggest....

Hello,
He ll angioplasty as Early as possible along with all medicine.
He should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. If bp is persistently more than 140/90 mmhg, then you should be on medicines for it. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according his capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week after angioplasty. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.
Hope this helps you.
