I had none of those issues-had heart failure(the doc was very specific-not a heart attach) in July-It was depressing to me to still have shortness of breath etc into Aug.I quit all the pills in Sept, and have returned to extremely heavy work by Oct. I had a double bypass involving the Widow Maker. I do not imply that all those pills are not good for some people-I just wouldnt want to live dependent on medication. Go ahead and kill me if I am wrong I am 70, 5 9 and 160s

The answer is no !!!
My father underwent surgery and was successful; nevertheless, after four months, he died of a heart attack, implying that he was curable for a few months but not in the long run.
