If you had a coronary artery block of 30% and $40%?

If you had a 40% blockage in one of your coronary arteries you more than likely will not notice any effects until the artery becomes 80 to 90%. The best none evasive test to see if you have any calcium build up in your arteries is to have an MRA or MRI taken. It will not give the percentage of blockage but will tell you if their is some build up in a particular artery. All other test are only one step in trying to find out if you have enough blockage to warrant surgery.

The one evasive test which will tell you for sure and is about 95% accurate is a angiogram. Any other test your doctor says you need, they can only guess at even if you pass them, the heart tends to give false negative reports and is up to a team of cardiologist to give their opinions and every one wil have a slightly different one depending on their evaluation of what each one decides. So do a lot of reseach on your won and don't be affraid to ask questions even if your doctor tends to get mad at you. They don't like to answer to many guestions.

Because they want you to think they have all the answers and your waisting their time. What ever you do don't except a blood transfusion.

You don't need one. I have had 5 major surgeries with out blood. It's called none blood medical management. I will sent you some information on it if you want.

Sincerely yours,

If you are not having symptoms, then don't go to the Doctor. That's my advice.

follow up with your doctor and get a referral to a pulmonologist.
