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."

My dad had a heart attack on July 28th, and they found two blockages. The doctor put in one stent, but there's still another blockage left. Should we be worried about the untreated blockage, and what's usually the next step? What should we watch out for?

I'm dealing with this health issue and I'm wondering what steps I can take to overcome it. Is it a condition that can be cured? I'm curious if trimetazidine would be beneficial for me, and are there any good natural supplements or vitamins and minerals that are good for my heart? My blood pressure and heartbeat are normal, but I sometimes experience shortness of breath, back pain, and heart pain. Is it possible for my mitral valve to return to normal function with a healthier lifestyle?
Trimetazidine is a medication that can be used to help manage symptoms of angina by improving blood flow to the heart. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. In addition to medication, you can also consider taking natural supplements such as Coenzyme Q10, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Magnesium to support heart health. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, managing stress, and avoiding smoking. These lifestyle changes can help improve the function of your mitral valve and overall heart health.
