I'm really concerned about my dad. He had a massive cardiac attack and the doctors told us that all three of his arteries were blocked. They managed to save him by placing a stunt in one of them. I'm just wondering, what do you think would be the best way forward now? Should we consider bypass surgery, or would it be better to place stunts in the other two arteries too? It's a lot to think about, and I just want to make sure we're making the right decision for his health.

In this case, since your dad already had a stent placed in one of the blocked arteries, the most suitable course of action going further would be to assess the condition of the other two blocked arteries. If the blockages are severe and bypass surgery is deemed necessary, then bypass surgery may be recommended. However, if the blockages are suitable for stenting, then placing stents in the other two arteries may be a more suitable option. It is important to consult with your cardiologist to determine the best course of action based on your dad's individual medical condition.

Should I be concerned and start taking medications, or is this in the normal range? Could you explain what these numbers mean? I've attached the ECG photos too.

I'm curious about what steps to take next for my health. I've been on medication for 10 months now dealing with mild cholesterol and hypertension, and I'm also diabetic. My LDL is currently 68 mgdl. The medications I'm taking include Metformin 500 mg, Ramipril 2.5 mg, Rosuvastatin, Aspirin, and Metoprolol Succinate 25 mg. I haven't done an angiography yet, and I'm wondering if that's necessary or if there are other actions I should consider for better health management. What would you suggest?
Based on your current medications and medical history, it seems like you are managing your hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol levels effectively. Since you have a mildly positive TMT result and have not undergone angiography yet, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. You may consider discussing the possibility of undergoing angiography to assess the status of your coronary arteries. Depending on the findings, your healthcare provider may recommend adjustments to your current medication regimen or additional interventions to optimize your cardiovascular health. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed: - Metformin 500mg for diabetes - Ramipril 2.5mg for hypertension - Rosuvastatin for cholesterol - Aspirin for cardiovascular protection - Metoprolol succinate 25mg for hypertension Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.
