I posted before about my friends dad having a heart attack, followed by heart failure. He was released from hospital 3 weeks ago, and 2 days ago had an angioplasty. From what I know he was told that all of his arteries are clogged, and that they won't be able to do an angiogram. He was released from the hospital and told to rest, but he got admitted again today and apparently isn't in a very good condition. What happens now? Does he have to do bypass surgery (from what I know that is the next step?)
He is currently on the following medications : plavix, trihemic, furohesimide, digoxin (forgive me if I have the spelling wrong)
What are his chances? And what do you think is the real story here? For some reason I believe that there is alot left unsaid, and that there is some need for other opinions on his health issue. They said he was to unstable to even do an angioplasty, and then they do one? I don't know, some clarity would be helpful.
