My grandfather is 82 years old and has a 99% RCA lesion, 90% LAD, and 60% LCX lesion. He's been given clexane injections but I'm not sure if he should go for bypass surgery or if medication alone would work for him. What would be the best option given his age and condition?

View allI'm really worried about this stiffness in my left ventricle. What can I do to help it get better, and are there specific things I should avoid doing? Can it be cured? I'm not sure what steps to take, and it's a bit overwhelming. Any advice would be really appreciated.
Stiffness in the left ventricle can be managed with medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril or ARBs like Losartan to help relax the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to reduce the heart rate and workload on the heart. In addition, diuretics like Furosemide may be used to reduce fluid buildup in the body. It is important to follow a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and avoid alcohol and tobacco which can worsen heart conditions. Regular exercise as recommended by your healthcare provider can help improve heart function. It is also important to manage stress and get an adequate amount of sleep to support heart health. Remember to take your medications as prescribed, attend regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider, and report any new or worsening symptoms promptly.

I've been having this weird chest pain around my sternum and in the center of my back. It's been going on for a few days now and usually hits me with cold sweats and heat waves. I also get this sharp pain on the left side of my breast whenever I walk. I thought it might just be a hangover, but its been three days and it just seems... off. Should I be worried about this?

How do you stop a heart attack immediately?
Acting quickly can save lives. If given quickly after symptoms, clot-busting and artery-opening medications can stop a heart attack, and having a catheterization with a stent put in may open a closed blood vessel. The longer you wait for treatment, the more chances of survival go down and damage to the heart goes up.
