Coronary artery disease
My mother underwent angioplasty in october 2004 (90% blockage in mouth of left CA). Recently, she has been diagnosed with 3 more blockages (30% each). Her glucose level is fluctuating 100-300 post prandial and HDL cholesterol remains below 60 ug/dL. She suffers shortness of breath. I wanted to know whether this minor % blockage could be cleared with the help of medicine? Or does it need any future surgery or washing?
Her diet is as per the given rules and she is a strict follower. However, she takes tension regarding things (minor/major) family issues.
Thank you.
