Lucky Phil's heart centre doctors are good even on totally blocked artery.
Back in cebu, a friend who is a public school teacher in minglanilla told me her mother got 2 stents at cebu docs 2 years ago. It cost them more than 1 million. The husband still hates the doctor for not giving discount after 2 years.
If you know somebody suffering from chest pain and shortness of breath, call me so I can recommends best doctors in Phil's heart center and it cost. Dial 0933 563 6559
It will cost you half than private hospitals.
Doctors are not giving complete info and they usually wanted immediate operation. If the medicine can handle the angina then no need operation. If the pain with shortness of breath is becoming frequent, your isodrill emergency meds are increasing then operation is needed. More importantly, if angiogram shows total or 90% more blockage you need operation since the fats in artery is going to become hard and permanent which no longer possible for angioplasty.
