I had a heart attack in June and late Sep went in and had another catherization.I am being told that my arteries are eat up pretty bad and have been shown this on film.I am on Imdur,Ticlid,Diltiazem,Antenonal.procardia and have a follow up with my doctor the end of Oct.I have regular angina pains I am told no more stints can be installed and a graph is questionable.All I read is the high mortality rate from CAD It,s rather depressing,are there any new meds,procedures,vitamins anything posative for someone in my condition.
And are my arteries going to get worse or can they be stabalized?I am 37 and there must be something to look forward too than angina pain and mortality from this the rest of my life.
Thankyou, J Taylor
