Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that once your husband has implanted stents it means that he has coronary artery disease. The most important think in this case is to keep and prevent other blocks in the artery or in the stents implanted. We can do this by keeping as low as possible the cholesterol levels and prevent heart overload lime high blood pressure and high frequencies. So, there are some medication that are mandatory on your husbands' case like aspirin and statin class, of course any hypertensive Chat Doctor. Simvastatin is a good treatment. It is essential to keep cholesterol levels as low as possible, optimal LDL cool below 70 mg/DL. If he cannot active this targets with simvastatin you can change it with another class like atorvastatin. Hope I was helpful. Best regards,
