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 worried because I've been dealing with chest pain for the last 2 years. I've had all kinds of tests done like ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, and even a CT Coronary Angiography, and they all came back normal. But my blood test results are a bit concerning. My high sensitivity C Reactive protein is at 9.7 mgL, lipoprotein A is 35.09 mgdL, Lipase is 63.6 UL, SGOT is 70.9 UI, SGPT is 88.4, and GGT is 80.9. These numbers have gone up compared to my earlier tests. The chest pain is really troubling me the most. Could you advise me on what steps I should take next?
Given your elevated blood test values, it is important to further investigate the cause of your chest pain. The increased sensitivity C Reactive Protein (CRP) level indicates inflammation in the body, which may be related to your symptoms. Considering your symptoms and blood test results, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of underlying inflammatory conditions such as costochondritis or musculoskeletal issues. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for chest pain relief. However, it is crucial to address the root cause of your symptoms through further evaluation and management. I hope this information helps.

I'm looking at my husband's ECG report, and it's got me a bit worried. It shows a heart rate of 77 bpm, with P at 97 ms, PR at 132 ms, QRS at 90 ms, and QTQTc at 357406 ms. Then it also says something about sinus rhythm, high voltage, and left ventricle. Does this all sound normal to you, or should we be rushing to the doctor? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
The report indicates high voltage in the left ventricle. Based on the information provided, the ECG findings suggest a normal sinus rhythm with high voltage in the left ventricle. There is no need for immediate doctor consultation based on this report. If your husband has any symptoms or concerns, it is advisable to follow up with his healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."
