Medical Advice and Opinion sought
from Doctors, Patients and voluntary helping medical forums with helping gesture to get their opinion/learnings to help a cardiac patient who is suffering from right ventricle failure and fluid
accumlation in lungs.
My father was admitted in chennai private hospital on 3-02-2008 following severe heart pain. He was treated for severe heart attack by the doctors there and angeogram
was taken on 19-02-2008. He was diagonised as having 2 block of 90% & 95%, another 2 blocks of minor levels. Medicine therapy was advised for 1 month and
subsequently by-pass was suggested as he picks up better health. But the doctors could not control continuous fluid accumulation and now they are saying that only thirty
percent pumping is there and they are asking us to take him back to home and keep him happy as long as he lives. The patitient still speaks brightly, and can walk within
room.
