My husband had two angioplasties 25 years ago - and survived them. But I think it really was his diet changes and the daily exercise that made the real difference.
Exactly. Adding ACEs like lisinopril, ARBs like losartan, CCBs like amlodipine, or MR blockers like spironolactone for hypertension, statins for cholesterol, and metformin and SGLT2 inhibitors like empagliflozin increases the powerful effects of lifestyle measures.
Remember “Phonocardiography”? It was brutally shutdown by the card carrying members of the American Cardiology Association. I know the inventor, Professor William Bennet. On the day of his retirement, he gave me his source code and asked me to continue his legacy!

He died of a broken heart. Very sad!
There is so much money in cardiovascular tests, surgeries, and procedures it is very hard to change in the face of the evidence.

Thankfully, we succeeded!
Let's just say we have a long way to go before care is patient-centered and based on the latest evidence and facts
Yup, for cardiology, the gap is twice as bigger, 35+ years. In some cases, never!
