###Human: My dad had a heart attack. Can we wait for 2 to 3 days to do bypass surgery? ###Assistant: Hello. If he had a heart attack, then it is better to shift him to a higher center with facility for cardiac care like angiography is available. He will need further management like echocardiography, angiography, and stenting if significant blockages are there. Also, medical treatment needs to be optimized. Enquire if troponin test is positive or not. I also want to know his CK-MB levels, which indicate heart damage. If possible, ask for clinical summary and reports including ECG (electrocardiography), the treatment he is receiving, and you can upload it here for a better opinion. Hope this helps you, and get back if you have any doubts. Revert with more information to a cardiologist online -->
