Hi thanks for a good detailed description of the Angio report. Firstly the block in the arteries of the heart is unlikely to decrease by medicines. They can only control increase of blockade along with lifestyle modification which is equally important. Why have they called you for a repeat Angiography? The findings are unlikey to change so soon and if they have not advised Surgery after the first Angio it is unlikely that Surgery will be advised. However if three arteries are getting blocked I would advise Surgery as the treatment of choice. Feel free to contact me after the Angiography. Take care and dont worry. Dr Rishi from Delhi, India.
