Blockage in LAD
Hi all,
I was diagnosed in Jan. 2013 through CT ANGIO That I have a blockage in LAD with 70% due to rupture plaque. From last three years I am on medication which as follows -
Telma H80 half tablet daily
Nebicard 5 once daily
Ecosprin av75 once daily
Now my question is
- How long I have to take these medicines
- Do I need any other precaution
I walk daily around 6-7 km and I don't have any problem to do this. And can climb stairs up to 3-4 floors without any problem.
My age is 40 years and my weight is 102 kg.
My blood reports are normal.

I would advice you to undergo a conventional CAG
Medicines would depend on the findings of CAG

As u had 70% stenosis in LAD by CT Angio, ideally u should have done a conventional angiogram to confirm it as it showed ruptured plaque. Now u don't have symptoms , u can do. a TMT Bruce protocol to establish any ischaemia. If negative continue with medical management.If positive u need a CAG ( conventional) and if >70% u need angioplasty. Do yearly Cardiac workup and continue with lifestyle modification
