Not likely that a doctor is going to be on here handing out free advice. I did babysit for a cardiologist when I was in school and he said that a lot of people that have heart disease can prevent major problems by watching their diet. Low sodium, low fat, low cholesterol...exercise, exercise, exercise.

well their really is no cure for heart disease except stop ingesting cholesterol, LDL type, and to increase you excersice, physicall excersice, not mental. now depending on how bad your heart disease is you will most likely need the surgery. but if you dont want it thats fine to. but if you ever have a heart attack, the doctors are doing to suggest that an immediate surgery is required for you to live.

Hi There Here are some ideas on how to heal the heart. Causes of Heart Disease There are numerous causes of heart disease. These include poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, lack of exercise, smoking, genetic predisposition, chronic infection, chronic inflammation, anxiety, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, obesity, stress, gum (periodontal) disease, mercury and other environmental toxins, poverty, and oxidized cholesterol. But the most important and usually undiagnosed cause of most types of heart disease is vulnerable plaque. Quick Action Plan for Preventing and Treating Heart Disease 1. Since up to 50 percent of heart disease cases can strike without any warning symptoms, it’s important to regularly be screened for signs of heart disease. In addition to conventional heart disease signals, such as high blood pressure and cholesterol and triglyceride levels, have your health care provider also screen you for markers such as C-reactive protein, homocysteine, fibrinogen, lipoprotein(a), glucose, insulin, and iron. 2. Also be sure to be screened for vulnerable plaque, which is the primary cause of 85 percent of all cases of heart disease. Effective screening tools for vulnerable plaque include ultra-high-speed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and darkfield microscropy. 3. You should also be screened for infectious agents such as Chlamydia, Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and the herpes family of retroviruses 4. Oxidized cholesterol, rather than elevated cholesterol levels by themselves, is another primary factor in most cases of heart disease, and therefore should also be screened for. 5. A healthy diet is essential for a healthy heart. Emphasize a diet rich in organic whole foods, especially plenty of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, oats, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and organic, free-range poultry and wild-caught, cold water fish, such as halibut, mackerel, orange roughy, and salmon (avoid farm raised salmon). Beans and legumes are also advisable due to their high fiber content. Throughout the day, drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid drinking—as well as bathing, and showering in—unfiltered tap water, because tap water contains heavy metals and pesticide residues that can contribute to and worsen heart disease. Also be sure to regularly use healthy oils such as extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, and fish oils for the essential fatty acids they contain. 6. Useful nutritional supplements for protecting your heart include beta carotene; vitamins B3 (niacin), B6, B12, C, and E; folic acid; the minerals calcium, chromium, magnesium, potassium, and selenium; the amino acids L-arginine, L-lysine, L-proline, and L-carnitine; coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10); and proanthrocyanidin (PCA). 7. Useful herbs include foxglove, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginger, hawthorn berry, linden flower, and motherwort. 8. Be sure to engage in a regular exercise program that combines aerobic exercise and strength training. For best result, devote 30 minutes three times per week to aerobic exercise, and 45 minutes twice a week for strength training. 9. Learn how to properly manage stress. Useful stress reduction techniques include biofeedback training, meditation, and yoga. 10. If you smoke, stop immediately. Also avoid all exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke, and minimize your exposure to environmental pollutants. Best of health to you Cheers

Gee if I knew that answer I would be a very rich person. You are very stressed at this moment so take a deep breath and let it out. You know something about heart disease yet you are still confused about a lot of the information you have received. Rest easy you are not alone. Talk with your doctor, take notes if you must. Your doctor has a wealth of information which he/she is more than willing to share and discuss with you. Do not leave until you are satisfied.. Surgery is a very scary prospect right now,yet it may be the best treatment. Listen to your heath care provider and get a second opinion. Remember you are not the first person with this problem, many people have it and have been successfully treated with surgery.

You have 2 different questions going here, #1 Even with surgery there is no cure for heart disease once the heart muscle is damaged it cannot come back. #2 Hypertension is high blood pressure and it can be controlled with medication. You can have high blood pressure without having heart disease and you can have heart disease without having high blood pressure. I hope this helps, Regards KG

well I'm not a cardiologist, but I am a cardiac critical care nurse (if that helps). Hypertension doesn't necessarily mean you will need "surgery". Medications along with dietary changes (low fat, low cholesterol, low sodium) and exercise can help lower your blood pressure. If you do have cardiac damage, it is not reversible, but therapy thereafter will be to maximize your heart function and prevent any further damage. Go to see a cardiologist and discuss all options with him or her. Hope that helps!! Best of luck
