A member asked:
My mother had a mild heart attack last week. angiogram revealed 100%, 70% and 50% blockages. she has diabetes and currently on blood thinners. is surgery recommended for her?

Whether your mother should have surgery, stance, other treatments, or nothing at all depends on her entire clinical situation, not just the percent blockage is sitting on that one exam. You shouldn’t talk with her cardiologist to access the risks and benefits of the various treatment options available, to help her make a decision. Don’t delay. Good luck.
