Is It Advisable For A Heart Patient To Take Alcohol?
My boyfriend is 40. He has had a past heart attack and has 6 stents 1 of which is double stented. He drinks beer everyday and sometimes has vodka. He is to have another angiogram tomorrow. Has chest px daily along with N/V. Should I keep him from drinking ETOH a certain amount of time before his procedure tomorrow at 4pm?

Drinking is like a poison for him. He already has stents and his heart is already weak. Try to stop him from drinking. It causes a lot of cardiac problems.
