My dad had bypass surgery back in 2000 and has been on meds since then. He's 60 now and after a recent health check, the doctor said his heart is working at 30% and recommended an angio. What exactly happens during an angio and what should we do next to improve his health?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
An angio (angiography) is a procedure using X-rays to visualize blood vessels and identify blockages or narrowing. To improve his health, your dad should focus on a heart-healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and quitting smoking if he smokes. He should also continue taking his prescribed medications as directed.
