Dear Dr.
A little background...I am 40 year old female, with no risk factors except a little family history. suffered for about a month with exertional angina, normal ekg, normal nuclear stress
test.March 15 had unstabile angina and vomiting. Went to ER, abnormal ekg, troponin of 4. Had emergency angioplasty 100% well collat. RCA. the LAD is also blocked 70-80%. They didn't fix it then because they paddled me for irregular heartbeat.
My cardio said to wait and see if we should angio the LAD, I went to another cardio and he said a 70-80% block of LAD is not borderline, and needs to be fixed . He said with no angina it can wait till June to see if at that time the RCA is restenosing.
They got an optimal result with RCA. My current meds are zocor, foltx, atenolol 50 mg , plavix, and cozaar, instead of zestril which made me cough. Should I wait, or is this a ticking time bomb.Thanks , Debbie
