Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My husband is 37-year-old and had angioplasty in LCX five years ago and again had another angioplasty recently in proximal LCX. He also has 50% stenosis in LAD and RCA. Can he live a normal life and to full term? How to reverse coronary artery disease? Can changes in lifestyle be helpful in reversing CAD so that he can lead a normal life to full term? Kindly give your opinion.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, he can live a normal life if he makes a friendship with his heart. If he remains a good friend, his heart will be even more good friend of him. Not only this, but his heart will teach him how to live a healthy life, how to be good. Every one of us has some degree of blockage in these vessels and increases with age. Some have 20%, some have 40%, some have 60%, but it remains silent. It can decrease with lifestyle modifications. Regarding his angioplasty, he has to be more careful. A stent is a foreign object in the body. Now he has to keep a good friend of heart to allow the stent to live in the heart. Heart demands that do exercise do not gain weight, consume a Mediterranean diet, do not take stress, sleep adequately at night, control blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol levels and take medicines on time throughout the life. He has to fulfill the demands of the heart. If he does, the heart will not do any harm to him. But if he becomes an enemy of heart, the heart can prove an even worse enemy. If he follows these guidelines, he will not only be safe from cardiac issues but also will have a good life. Doses can be modified depending upon the patient's condition from time to time but never stop medicines without consultation with a cardiologist. I hope this was helpful.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
