A member asked:
Will the clearing of an 80% blockage of the lad help a a 20% efficient heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Heart function sometimes improves after opening a blocked artery but not always, especially if you have had a heart attack in the past. Symptoms of heart failure or angina, such as shortness of breath and chest pain are more important than the number attached to your heart function. Best wishes.
