Expert: David Richardson Date: 7/16/2008 Subject: curing heart blockage without angioplasty
Question My mom recently had Angiography and results showed that she is having 60% and 95 % blockage in the same artery in her right part on the heart.
So doctors have suggested Angioplasty, but some people suggested about a insitute in Nagpur(INDIA) named "Cardicare" (www.cardicareaipc.com) run by Dr. V.
K. Bhagwatkar. He claims that he can cure heart blockage by some infusions (claimed to be imported from U.S), some heart exercise and diet control plan. He also claimed that he can cure diabetes (she is diabetic patient).
So i googled about him and his treatment procedure (cause i have heard there is no cure for diabetes)but found nothing, so i am little doubtful about his treatment and i want your suggestion about the reliability and authenticity of his treatment. As i am a lot concerned for my mom. I hope
i will get an experienced suggestion from you as soon as possible.
Thank You
Answer Dear Prajwal,
The only indication for angioplasty is heart pain she doesn't want to put up with. Treatment with good diet, exercise, aspirin, a statin, an ACE inhibitor or ARB, and a beta blocker is as effective in preventing heart attack or cardiac death as is angioplasty.
I don't know anything about Dr. Bhagwatkar or infusion for heart blockage. A few diabetics can be cured by diet and exercise, but very few.
Please write back if this note doesn't answer all your questions.
