Can medication be used to control moderate per infarct eschemia with no wall motion abnormalities and an ejection fraction  of 72%.  I had a stent put in in 2000 and I am being told to have an angiogram ASAP and \"probably\" have the stent cleaned out.  I am 72, obese and have family history of heart problems - attacks, strokes, cerebral hemorrhage, etc.  I do water aerobics class for exercise since walking makes me short-of-breath in a very short distance.  I do not experience shortness of breath with the water aerobics class.
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. HD disease one of major issue nowadays, ischemic can be controlled by Antioschemic med but It's not necessarily that u r in this med u won't have heart prob but by using this med your chance of having ischemia are very, very low, as u already have family history n obese n having heart disease which may lead to Dec heart function if not treated properly . If u were my patient I would like to do so tests like BLI's, c X-ray to rule out chest infection do echo if it's more than 1 year ago to see heart functioning n valve is okay, n ETT to see if u have new ischemia or perfusion scan . If this came abnormal then go for c.Anglo n stent if needed n then also optimize TX to make sure u have no more symptoms I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Regards.
