A member asked:
With all the breakthroughs and cures, surely an artery can be unblocked .in 3 years all ive had is statins asprin and get exercise ,and dumped?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only short term: All the "breakthroughs" in treating block arteries including balloon dilatation,stents,ultrasound and surgeries are meant for temporary relief which is easy. The big challenge is how to keep the artery open on a long term basis and there is so far no substitute for a healthy lifestyle including stop smoking ,healthy diet and regular exercise plus aspirin,statin. Control of BP and diabetes also
