My 60-year-old mom has a blockage in her main heart artery 80% blocked. We're confused about the best treatment option should we go for bypass surgery, ECP/EECP, or try those 20 injections the doctor mentioned? They say the injections can clear 50% for sure, and with walking and managing cholesterol, maybe another 30%. What would you suggest is the safest and most effective choice for her?

I've got some concerns about my cholesterol and liver enzyme levels. My total cholesterol is at 254 and LDL is 166. On top of that, my SGPT is 108 and SGOT is 120. My doctor is recommending statins, but I'm wondering if that's really necessary? Could I just stick to a healthy diet instead? Would love another perspective on this.
