My dad is 65 and just had a pacemaker put in because his heart rate dropped dangerously low. The doctors found two major blockages 95% and 99% and are recommending bypass surgery, but his creatinine level is high at 2.58. They say his kidneys might not handle the surgery well. What are our options here? Also, could you suggest a diet that helps both his heart and kidneys?
