1) There are really no proven ways to "remove" blockages of coronary
arteries. Surgery byp***** the blockages, and stenting opens up the
blockages, but in neither case is the blockage removed. Maintaining a
very low cholesterol level may, in some people, result in the body
slowly decreasing blockages over years.
2) You might be able to get someone to give you a copy of the
angiography. I'm not sure what you mean by interpret it -- presumably
you would need someone with expertise in looking at an angiography to
interpret it.
3) Angiography is considered the gold standard test for coronary
blockages. Other tests could be done looking for problems, but the
angiography is usually the confirmatory test. In the posted re****t it
did not just show multiple blockages. It also showed evidence of a prior
heart attack. Unless the people reading the angiography are incompetent,
it doesn't make sense to think about getting some other test. The
blockages are almost certainly there.
4) Unfortunately, high cholesterol is just one risk factor for coronary
heart disease. A lot of people with normal cholesterol levels develop
coronary disease as well.
