Most angioplasties and stents used to treat acute heart attacks or unstable angina in the US are necessary and lifesaving. We know that these procedures are not indicated for people with coronary artery blockages who are stable; only about 3% benefit from these invasive procedures compared to medical treatment alone using pharmaceutical drugs. There is also a place for supporting people with coronary artery disease with lifestyle measures and natural treatments using supplements such as coenzyme Q10, l-carnitine, fish oil, taurine, nattokinase, and much more.
