What can be done if you have calcification's in a blocked heart?

Question

The Dr. said nothing can be done for that. Does that mean if that blockage becomes so bad the person dies?

Answer 1

Lifestyle changes may slow the further buildup of plaque. These lifestyle changes include:

* Achieving and maintaining an ideal weight
* Controlling diabetes
* Controlling high blood pressure (hypertension)
* Engaging in regular weight-bearing exercise
* Refraining from smoking cigarettes, cigars and pipes, and staying away from second-hand tobacco smoke and areas of heavy air pollution
* Sticking to a healthy diet that is low in fats and oils and cholesterol

Best of Luck

Answer 2

Sometimes nothing needs to be done for it. Sometimes the tissue that a blocked artery is feeding is not viable (it is not living tissue that would perk up with a new blood supply). Typically this happens when you have had a heart attack and heart tissue sustained long term damage.

The blockages often happen very gradually over a long time and therefore the body sometimes grows new arteries to create its own by-pass.

There also is "front-runner" angioplasty equipment that sometimes can "dig" through the calcifications to open them up, if its decided that its really necessary. The position and degree of calcification dictate whether it is possible or not. I have heard especially in large city, high volume cath labs that they don't mess around for hours with such a thing. You might actually have to go to a smaller city to find that sort of service - where the cath lab volume is reduced.

If you have not already had a bypass then you could have bypass surgery - even if you have it is possible to do a bypass re-do in some cases.

Lastly if all of those above are not an option, then with continued moderate exercise over a period of time, your body may be prompted to grow its own arteries to feed the area if new arteries already are not grown.

So as others are suggesting this is the end for you, I am saying you are far from the end. I think you are just misunderstanding the implications of having an artery blocked with calcifications. As I mentioned above, nothing may even need to be done, so don't push for a procedure you don't require. Usually medications will need to be optimized to reduce symptoms if you are having them.

Discuss a moderate exercise program with your cardiologist, possibly overseen by the cardiac rehab unit in your area.

Good luck.

smell the roses, enjoy a sunset, do what makes you happy in life. maybe a bypass but if that's not a option just appreciate and enjoy the time you have. stressing it will cause it to worsen and shorten the time and quality of the life you have.
