Hi
Welcome to HCM
Read your prob, if you have heart blockage then you should get angiography n disscuss it with your doc n do proper treatment for preventing further complications. you should avoid fatty diet n restrict salt intake. but food habit cant cure your blocked heart it prevent only further progress with in limit. so consult with cardiologist do as per his advise.

Hi welcome to Healthcaremagic

Hi....., The Blockage in the heart cannot be relived by the food habit or it cannot be restored to normal.. Angioplasty is the best available treatment available... after the angioplasty you need to change the food habit by avoiding by fat or oily foods, also there are lipid lowering drugs like atorvastatin, HMG Co ase inhibitors.... by above medications it will prevent the further damage to blood vessels and also decrease the plasma lipid level...
Hope I have answered your question..

Takecare..
