Hi,

Ct scan in Sept stated moderate amount of coronary calcification noted in LAD artery.

Angiogram in November found moderate to severe calcification in LAD plus not so severe in other arteries.

Finally, in January a stent was fitted in LAD but mild stroke occurred either during or shortly after resulting in left hemianopia ( half blind) and left arm and leg weakness.

Question… should i have been put on blood thinners in Sept or Nov?

I wasn’t!

Anyone experience anything similar?
