Hi all,

My dad just fainted  just now under hot sun . Thought it was heat stroke so we bring him  to medical hospital to check.

Did MRI scanning, check no sign of stroke.

Did ECG test, doc said my dad got blockage at the artery. Got 3 artery, 1 of them got blockage. Another 2 can't seen clearly. He mentioned not all able to perform surgery? I was like ,huh?

Hope all forumers able to advise me in this situation. Is it high cholesterol causes this?

Can diet helps? I'm worry about my father. TQ

ECG can suggest which territory of the 3 main cardiac vessels that COULD be compromised. ST depression in leads II, II and aVF (these are Inferior Leads)may mean some cardiac ischaemia involving the Right Coronary Artery; ST elevation in these same will spell out an acute Heart Attack for you. Go for Coronary Angiography.. now you will ''see clearly'' which vessels have what and where.

To me your dad had a heat stroke. Just rehydrate, stay in shades, stay in-doors. But at some point he will a cardiologist for the ECG changes that your doc saw. Good luck

This doc will perform another angiogram for my dad tomorrow's.

Now we're at another  hospital as the first hospital said there's blockage and needed bypass. Fuck no first of cause. Forget to mention the first hospital forced us to sign the bypass surgery. Now we moved to the second hospital.

He will do the testing tml, see if my dad able to  go with balloon procedure. Wish hi. Speedy recovery

excellent. coronary angiography will allow viewing of the coronary vessels. if any are critically blocked, they might offer several management pathways, depending on what they see. they might offer PCI ie putting a stent thru the narrowed vessels. if the vessel(s) are blocked, they might offer CABG ( the bypass you mentioned). balloon angioplasty? that's kinda old, man; but see what they offer after the angio. be aware that if the narrowing of the vessels are mild, they might offer your dad a wait-and-see approach, which is very valid. good luck to yer dad.
