At what age is one at a high risk of a heart attack?
Your grandparents dying of a heart attack in their 80s does not increase your risk of developing heart disease. Age is a risk factor for heart disease, specifically coronary artery disease that leads to hear attacks. Men over the age of 40 and women who are post menopausal are in general those that we consider to be a higher risk due to age. Its the combination of multiple risk factors that greatly increases ones risk of developing heart disease- age, high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, high cholesterol, obesity and a family history of EARLY coronary heart disease are the common risk factors.

What is the difference between a bypass surgery and an angioplasty?
This is a question that requires a prolonged discussion with a cardiologist over your particular medical situation. Angioplasty in 2019 involves placing a stent in the coronary arteries, delivered by a plastic catheter from your arm or groin, to push away the blockage and restore normal blood flow to the heart muscle. This is done in a catheterization room with the patient under sedation. Coronary bypass surgery is surgery, done under general anesthesia, where arterial and veins are used to literally "bypass" the obstructions in the coronary arteries. READ MORE

What are my chances of a heart attack after a bypass?
Unfortunately, having coronary bypass surgery at such an early age does put you at continued high risk for heart attacks in the future. Your treatment must include intensive cholesterol lowering with medication and advanced cholesterol blood tests to follow the results of these medications. A low fat, low cholesterol diet along with aerobic exercise and maintaining a low normal body weight are essential. Control of other medical issues such as high blood pressure and pre diabetes or diabetes is essential. Cigarette smoking is absolutely not allowed and for patients who do continue to smoke they can be guaranteed to have future additional heart attacks. Dr. Radwajer READ MORE
After a bypass, how long will I have to follow diet restrictions?
The only way for me to answer this question is with knowledge of a patients weight, height, waist size, cholesterol levels, and details of their bypass surgery and cardiac function.
