I'm dealing with CAD and recently found out from my CT Angio test that there's a 60-70% blockage in my LDA artery. I've been reading up on EECP and Bio Chemical Angioplasty online, and I've talked to some folks who've undergone EECP. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually effective. Also, do you know what medication is used in Bio Chemical Angioplasty? And once I've gone through it, how long can I expect the blockage to stay away?

View allI'm really worried about my health because I've been told I have a blockage in 2 of my arteries. The doctor mentioned that my condition isn't good enough for a bypass or CABG surgery. They've suggested I try medication for the first 15 days to see if it helps clear the blockage. How effective is this approach, and what are the chances that the blockage might actually clear up just with medicine?
The doctor may prescribe a combination of medications to help manage the blockage in the arteries. This may include: 1. Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) - 20mg once daily to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. 2. Aspirin - 75mg once daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow through the arteries. 3. Clopidogrel (brand name Plavix) - 75mg once daily to further prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of complications. 4. Ramipril (brand name Altace) - 2.5mg once daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart. It is important to take these medications as prescribed and follow up with the doctor for further evaluation and management.

My father had bypass surgery 20 years ago and now the doctor is recommending a CAG because they said his heart is at 30% working. He's 60 now is it safe for him to go through this procedure at his age?

I'm feeling this weird breathlessness when I lie down, but it goes away if I turn to my side. I don't have a cough or fever, and I consider myself pretty healthy otherwise. Should I be concerned about this?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
