He was discharged on Deplatt-A (aspirin + clopidogrel), Tomact 80, Met XL 25, Cardace, Nicoran 5, Cilostazol 100 twice daily, and diabetes medicines including insulin. Could you please advise if this treatment plan and medicines are appropriate? Or any advice... Report attached

The attached reports are not clear Advise based on written history 1. Need complete opening of all arteries with blockage 2. . Since angioplasty has been done, should go for opening of other arteries now. (Aka complete revascularisation) 4. Medicine prescribed are good , most likely doctor will add more medicines with followup
