Suggest Treatment For Repeated Heart Attack
My husband had a quadruple bypass 18 years ago, 2 years after the bypass he had an angioplasty. He has high blood pressure, diabetes, and now experienced another heart attack where 2 stents were inserted into the artery that was grafted 18 years ago. The cardiologist told him that he only has 30 percent of his heart function. He is extremely tired, nauseated, sweats but does not experience any chest pains. Will he survive this last bout and what will his quality of life be.

see as a cardiac , hypertensive n diabetic patient it is little hard for him than a normal man. His heart functioning is decreased because of two heart attacks ( I think he got the major ones). After a injury nothing can b as normal as it was befor . But with regular check ups with your diabetologist b cardiologist will help him to improve
