Hi only joined on Monday evening after having my stress echo cardiogram. Outcome wasn't what I was expecting. During the echo our hearts are scanned in 17 sections; two sections of mine whilst under stress aren't working properly: they're slowing down. I have now been put on the cardiac waiting list for an angiogram (had confirmation letter today, so cardiologists is on the ball) and if needed stents will be put in place. Shocked isn't the word. I had a Carotid endarterectomy in October 2016 (96% blocked) and suffered a TIA also. I try not to worry but its easier said than done :(
