Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM. your father has been diagnosed with blocks in the heart arteries and has been adviced an angioplasty which means the block severity is greater than 70%. These blocks in the heart are cholesterol depostis which grow over time. Diet and yoga can only decrease the progression if these blocks. Blockages in the heart arteries over 70% severity cannot be treated by medications, diet or lifestyle changes. It requires an angioplasty or if many arteries are involved, a bypass surgery.
Also he needs to be on lifetime medications like blood thinners, cholesterol lowering medications and other beneficial drugs for the heart.
Please dont underestimate this, as the blocks will grow with time and it may lead to frequent troublesome symptoms which will affect the quality of life.
I understand that his creat shot up to 4 during the angio, so you must be afraid that it may shoot up again. Please visit a nephrologist (kidney specialist) to evaluate the cause of the high creatinine. It can be caused by the dye used for angio also. In that case preventive measures can be taken and angioplasty can still be done after taking required measures as adviced by a nephrologist.
Wishing him good health
Regards
