My father-in-law recently was told that all of his arteries are about 98% blocked. He was told that he is not a candidate for a bypass procedure because of his age and, of course, the condition of his arteries. They have installed a pacemaker and gave him some medication and sent him on his way. He did not suffer a heart attack but went to the doctor because he was suffering some dizziness and felt like he was going to faint from time to time. He is 79 years old and is very active including exercise nearly everyday at the gym. His cholesterol has always been high and he has been on blood pressure medication for years. Is there anything that can be done and, if not, what is his prognosis?
Thanks so much
