[|Human|] My dad had a heart attack within the last day...they say the bottom half of his heart is not functioning so they put in a stint to see if it comes back...my question is...what if it doesnt?  They have also put in a temp pace maker to assist the top half....
[|AI|]  Hello, your father had a heart attack, considering more than 24 hours have already passed, using clot buster injection will not be of benefit, so the best way to salvage (save) the heart muscle is mechanically removing the clot and stenting the diseased segment. This is great amount of scientific research which suggest that angioplasty would help in such cases. As a doctor it's not possible to predict how much benefit it will occur, that is maybe in God's hand, however I can reassure you that the more time is wasted in decision-making and taking second opinion, more permanent damage will occur to th3 heart muscle as here time is the most important thing. Trust your doctor and do the best possible to protect his heart. Either medical management or revascularization is dependent on the clinical situation of the patient. Regards Chat Doctor.
