Any advice, post angiogram

[Musiclady18]

I have a relative, currently 67 years of age. At age 36 had 3 angioplasties done, at age 55 had quintuple bypass and now at age 67 recently had an angiogram. Family history 9 siblings all have high cholestrol. Father deceased from colon cancer at age 41 too long ago didn't test for cholestrol.

Mother lived to age 85 alzheimers for last 14 years of her life. My question is from the latest angiogram done January 2024 drs have said there is no surgery options for him, ie bypass, stents. He has been prescribed a new medication for a blood thinner and they hope that collateral circulation will work. Seems he has been able, since January, to up his walking distance and is going to start a cardiac rehab program soon. Is there any other thing he should be looking into, is this a proper diagnosis ? Drs have said don't know if collateral circulation is working unless they do another angiogram and they can't, due to the cost, do another ???? Any advice would be welcome.

he should ensure his diet is the best it can be - this will be in the rehab program. Impossible to know whether this is the proper diagnosis as we are. It medics here.

You could contact the BHF helpline.

Why not see how much a private angiogram would cost?
