One year on from a stent. What should I expect from a follow up phone call with cardiology? Any advice welcome

It depends on how you’ve been and results of your bloods, weight etc. Mine was pretty good. I was just told to keep taking the tablets, manage my weight and exercise by walking at least 20 minutes a day. The advice was slightly different from the cardiologist than the cardiac nurse in that she said I could swim and the nurse said I definitely could not swim.

thanks for the comment. I will report back when I've spoken to the doc.
