My 80 year old mother recently had a heart catheterization. It was recommended because she had a reversible inferior apical defect on a Cardiolite discovered during a persantine stress test. The doctor said she was not a candidate for open heart surgery because she also has significant COPD, Diabetes and Asthma.
My question is: What does this mean? The cardiologist said he wouldn't do anything at this time.
Thansk You,
