My dad, who's 69, got really bad chest pains about five days ago and the ECG showed he had a heart attack. They did an angiography too and found there's blockage in three arteriesone's at 90 percent, another at 70, and the last one at 50 percent. The doctor said he needs surgery. I'm really worried and wanted to get your opinion on this. Is surgery the only option, and what kind of risks are we looking at? Are there any alternatives or additional things we should consider?

View allI'm really concerned about what my cardiologist told me regarding aortic valve leakage. Can you explain what might be causing this condition? And he mentioned that the valve might need to be changed in the future. How serious is this situation, and what should I expect going forward?
The main reason for aortic valve leakage is usually due to a condition called aortic valve regurgitation, where the valve does not close properly and allows blood to leak back into the heart. This can be caused by conditions such as rheumatic fever, infective endocarditis, or congenital heart defects. In some cases, age-related changes or wear and tear on the valve can also lead to leakage. If the leakage becomes severe and starts to affect the heart's function, the cardiologist may recommend aortic valve replacement surgery.

Is sleeping good for high blood pressure?
People who sleep six hours or less may have steeper increases in blood pressure. If you already have high blood pressure, not sleeping well may make your blood pressure worse. It's thought that sleep helps your body control hormones needed to regulate stress and metabolism.
