Cardiac Catheterization

I am 52 year old , Male , 90 KGM , Smoker , and making good sports on daily basis .
I made cardiac cathet. last week and ended with the following :-

- RCA : Dominant vessel with mild luminal  irregularities

- LCA : LM:Normal , LCA :Mild luminal irregularities  , LAD : Luminal Irregularities

My Blood pressure is about 13/8 , Fasting Sugar 95  .. 5.3 , with good cholestrol level in the blood .
The HDL and LDL level are  little bit low .
The doctor said all are good and no need for any medication , only Vastor 40 mg  and Asprint 100 one tablet each .

Need to hear more about my situation and if you recommend any further medication or changes in life style .
Thank You

Luminal irregularities is considered having heart disease. The irregularities are a mild form of stenosis.

Standard treatment for this is a statin to keep the LDL low and aspirin as a anticlot medication.


However:
I think your symptoms are not really explained by the catheterization. The luminal irregularities should not give you discomfort.
If problems persist, I would go back tomy cardiologist and ask him for further tests (holter monitor, echo?)

You can do a lot to stop or slow progression of the disease.

You surely know what actions have a positive effect in slowing or stopping progression: no smoking, physical activity, eating healthy, keeping or getting a healthy weight, limit stress levels, take your medication.
