Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

A person having moderate disease in LAD and critical disease in LCx with normal cholesterol levels and EF 60. Can medicines cure this disease? Is it a dangerous disease?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern.

The severity and treatment options for coronary artery disease (CAD) depend on various factors, including the extent of blockages, symptoms, overall health, and individual risk factors. Moderate disease in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and critical disease in the left circumflex artery (LCx) indicate blockages in these coronary arteries. The significance of these blockages and the potential danger they pose depend on factors such as the percentage of blockage, the presence of symptoms, and the overall health of the individual. Treatment options for CAD can include lifestyle modifications, medications, and procedures such as angioplasty or bypass surgery. Medications can help manage symptoms, reduce the risk of complications, and slow down the progression of the disease. However, the effectiveness of medications in treating CAD depends on the individual case and the severity of the disease.

Hope this addresses your concern.

Take care.
