Hello doctor, My 72 year old father, recently got some breathing problem, so we went to the doctor. The doctor said that his cholesterol is high, and told my dad to take medicines. After a month he went for angiography and the reports show some blockages in the arteries. He got a minor heart attack 20 years back, and he is hypertensive. I would like to know the treatment options. I am attaching his ECG, blood test, and angiography reports.
Hello. His reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) certainly show significant blockages in the arteries. It is not possible to comment on the treatment from the photos alone. You need to upload the final report of the angiography, mentioning the vessel and percentage of the blockages. Get an echocardiogram done, to know the functioning of the heart, as decreased function can lead to shortness of breath. He should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily, high-calorie diet meat, smoking and alcohol. I advise him to have low salt diet, lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits and fish. Monitor his blood pressure regularly. BP should not be persistently more than 140/90 mmHg. Regular exercises like brisk walking according to his capacity for at least 30 minutes a day and five days a week will help him. Hope this helps you and get back with the report.
