Get a 2nd opinion: You're essentially asking for a 2nd opinion online w/o benefit of examination or evaluation. Not being rude, just pointing out that the best 2nd opinion would come from someone who has had time to evaluate you in detail. In meantime, work w/your family doc to optimize your heart disease risk factors, eg weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, sugars, smoking, diet, exercise, etc. Ask about non-surgic.
