Question

I underwent heart catheterization about a month ago due to arrhythmias. During the catheterization, a blockage of 90% - 95% was found on the right side and it was opened. The arrhythmias are currently being treated with medication. In an echo test I underwent this week, mild insufficiency was found on both sides. A. Do I need to fast? B. Can I drink and fast from eating?

Answer
