Hi dr.. my uncle aged 60 & a hard smoker had a heart attack few days ago.. An injection was given to him in emergency used probably for narrowing blood vessel for a short period of time... Now some doctors advised a bed rest of 1 month while some advised a thelium test & other doctors advised angiography... I want ur kind opinion on this case, whether thelium or angiography is best option for him bcz he already had a heart attack & received blood narrowing injection...
Hello Welcome to Ask a Doctor service I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Cardiac artery disease best can be ruled out with the help of angiography, it is the only option that can clear the doubt of artery block if it is ever there, according to block treatment being decided, big lesion may need stent, else medication may help too. Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
