Angioplasty
My father had heart attack before 20 days and after all treatment doctor's said he has blockage in LCX 100% and suggested me for the angioplasty i agreed on his opinion and he has done Angiography and Angioplasty with two stent's but I have a doubt because doctors said during Angioplasty it's not for lifetime it can be happen anytime again so what things I need to care about my father's life and what is the life of Angioplasty ?.Is it good or bad and what will be my father's daily routine ?. He is taking medicine's on time and and I am avoiding oils in his food what other things I need to care pls suggest..
Thanks & Regards
