See cardiologist: You have a complex set of cardiac issues, probable coronary artery disease due to tobacco use, hypertension and diabetes. You have electrical abnormalities (arrhythmias) and muscle damage as a result of your myocardial infarction. See an advanced failure cardiologist to see if a pacemaker, stent or coronary bypass are options or if medication is the way to go. Meanwhile stop smoking.
