My father had an heart attack 2 weeks before. After that we admitted him in an hospital. they gave the initial treatment. After we went for angiogram. But the doctor didnt give the proper analysis report now we are in confussion weather my father have to get angioplasty or it may cure thru medicine?
Hello dear thanks for posting your query here. As your father had a heart attack 2 weeks back, so now if your father still gets angina and if the blockage of vessels is >50% in left main and >70% in the other vessels, then he definitely needs revascularization that can be either angioplasty or bypass operation depending upon the degree of blockage and number of vessels involved. But if your father doesn't get any angina now but has blockage in the vessels, then he can get a stress test to find out the significance of those blockages whether they need to be opened or not. I hope this will help you. All the best
