Dear lybrate user
Apart from medical treatment he also needs psychological help as stress fear anxiety etc plays an important role in most of the chronic diseases. Plus physical and mental relaxation is also required. So get him this mind therapy as well he will be benefitted for sure. Good luck.

My father had gone through AVR surgery in June 2018. After the surgery doctors advice to take acitrom 1 mg & 2 mg alternatively.
