My dad has a heart problem, and the angiography report shows his left and right arteries are about 70% blocked. I'm really worried and trying to figure out what's best for him. Should he go for angioplasty or a bypass surgery? What would you suggest?

In the case of your father with 70% blockage in both the left and right arteries, the best treatment option would be bypass surgery. Bypass surgery is recommended for patients with severe blockages in multiple arteries. It involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle by using a blood vessel graft. This procedure can improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of a heart attack. The specific medication and dosage post-surgery will be prescribed by the treating doctor.
