I'm reviewing my angiogram results, and it's making me pretty anxious. It mentions a "20% stenosis" in the distal left main, and a "90% stenosis" in the proximal left anterior descending artery, plus a "60% stenosis" in the mid LAD. The distal LAD is stated as normal, but there's a "40% stenosis" in the diagonal. Also, it says my right coronary artery has a "90% eccentric stenosis" in the distal part, though the rest is fine, as well as the PDA and minimal disease in PLV. Could you help me understand what all this means, and what should be done? I'm feeling really lost here.

"Based on the findings of your coronary angiogram, it appears that you have significant blockages in your left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA). To address the blockages and improve blood flow to your heart, a treatment plan may include the following: - For the 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD, a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery may be recommended. - For the 90% eccentric stenosis in the distal RCA, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement could be considered. - Medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and statins may also be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Please consult with your cardiologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case."

I'm really concerned because my father just went through a TMT test and his score was 3.52 Mets. The doctor didnt recommend an angiography, but I'm not sure if we should still consider getting one. Could you help me understand what this means and whether we need to take further action?

A Mits value of 3.52 indicates a moderate risk of coronary artery disease. Since the doctor has not suggested angiography, it is likely that the risk is not high enough to warrant further invasive testing at this point. However, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and continue with regular check-ups to monitor any changes in the condition. In the meantime, medications such as Atorvastatin 20mg and Aspirin 75mg may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease.

Is lemon good for high blood pressure?

Citrus, such as lemon and limes, has been shown to reduce blood pressure and has the added benefit of adding a little flavor to a boring glass of water.
