Hi All, I took my Dad for an Angiogram yesterday as the Dr. said he may have a blockage. They did a EKG on Friday and said that he had a T-Wave inversion ( instead of looking like a camel's hump on the EKG it went down like a dip). Well, all 3 of his Arteries are occluded (blocked) one is 100%, one is
95% and is calcified and the last is 75%. All of these arteries have created what is called Collaterals (like branches of a tree) supplying the heart with blood. So, his heart is still being fed with blood but probably not enough God Forbid the other 2 go to 100%. They didn't want to do a stent because he has no symptoms and is not a candidate for bypass surgery. He also has Parkinson's (so does my Mom) and he also has Prostate cancer. They put him through all of this and now they aren't doing anything!! I wish we never knew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been very upset and I am trying to change how I feel!!!! Just don't know anymore!!!!!!!!Please say a Prayer for him! We need all the encouragement that we can get! God Bless Everyone, Dorothy in NY
