2 Blockages in heart.
My grandmother who is 88 years old felt pain in the chest and she was taken to hospital where they took ECG in which they found 2 blockages in her heart. She has Diabetes, BP and thyroid since 17 years. She is also taking medication for depression. Doctors are advising to do angioplasty. Please advise whether she can handle 2 stents and angioplasty. And whether angioplasty will help the blockages cleared? Thank you.
