70% Heart Blockage? What Happens If You Ignore It? | Medicines & Heart Attack Risk | Dr. Toishi

A 70% heart blockage does not always mean you need a stent, but ignoring it or stopping prescribed medications can increase your risk of heart problems. In this video, Dr. Toishi Sharma explains what happens when a moderate heart blockage is left untreated and why medications are important even when you feel completely fine. In this video, Dr. Toishi Sharma, Interventional Cardiologist, explains why patients with a 70% coronary artery blockage may sometimes be treated with medicines instead of a stent, and why these medications should be continued as advised by your cardiologist. In this video, you’ll learn: Why a 70% heart blockage may not always require a stent Why medications are prescribed even when you have no symptoms How aspirin helps reduce the risk of clot formation How statins help lower bad cholesterol How statins help stabilize cholesterol plaque inside the artery Why plaque rupture can lead to a heart attack Why even a 40%, 50% or 60% blockage can sometimes cause a heart attack What can happen if prescribed heart medications are stopped Why you may not feel any immediate benefit from these medications Why you should not stop aspirin or statins without consulting your cardiologist What to do if you experience side effects such as bruising or bleeding A heart blockage should not be judged only by its percentage. Even a moderate blockage can become dangerous if the plaque ruptures and causes a blood clot that suddenly blocks blood flow to the heart. Medications prescribed for coronary artery disease can play an important role in slowing disease progression and reducing the risk of plaque-related complications. Even when you feel perfectly fine, these medicines may still be working to protect your heart. If you have been diagnosed with a 70% heart blockage or another coronary artery blockage and have been prescribed long-term medication, watch this video to understand why following your cardiologist's treatment plan is important.
