Does bypass surgery treat coronary artery disease?
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery is must what it means – it bypasses the areas of severe narrowing – like relieving traffic congestion in a city by bypassing around the city – but it does NOT cure the coronary disease – and it is essential that aggressive medical therapy including statins and other medications such as for hypertension, diabetes, etc., are still continued. Well regards, John A. Rumberger, PhD, MD, FACC, FSCCT READ MORE
Can blood pressure medication cause chest pain?
I do NOT think so - chest pains can be from many causes but the two most important, especially in a person with hypertension, are angina or heart pain due to a blocked artery AND a worsening enlargement of the aorta - also called an aneurysm. The conditions can be easily determined with modern imaging methods such as Cardiac CT READ MORE
Could menopause increase the risk of a heart attack?
You are at no higher risk in general at this time. READ MORE
What are the symptoms of a weak heart?
Generally a progressive [over weeks/months] increase in fatigue, shortness of breath with effort, having to sit up in bed to feel comfortable sleeping, and peripheral edema are the most common symptoms READ MORE
