rotator cuff and blockages

[Montana77]

Rotator cuff injury and heart disease.

The arteries on the right side of my heart doing great.. no blockages.

I had rotator cuff surgery on the right side and no pain.

but i injured by left shoulder and have never got it looked at. and now i have a blockage on my lad. Stent was put in 2020 and now have I full blockage past the stent.

he said it was scar tissue and calcium and colestrol ..

so do you think the inflammation on that side may have caused the blockage? i know this is dumb, but what about 5g and oxidized protein, protein drinks.

Hi, I have the same issue. (I hope), LAD stenosis (stented), and left shoulder subacromial pain/rotator cuff issues from weight training, maybe from crashing on my pedal cycle,

Did you take any statins after the stenting?

It sounds like you have a new atherosclerotic plaque?

It is known that oxidation of LDL cholesterol is one of the first steps in atherosclerosis/plaques.

The whole system in the body related to free radicals, inflammation and the immune system is complicated and it would be difficult, if not impossible, to identify anything beyond smoking and LDL cholesterol as a factor in forming plaques. It is possible that oxidised protein has accelerated plaque formation, but it is more likely to be multi factorial.

I have read about oxidized cholestrol frozen chicken gets more oxidized. over cooked meat so now if i eat meat it is fresh and fresh fish. was on a high protein diet like protein drinks i heard they make the plaque more unstable so stopped the protein drinks and now eating more veggies and fresh fruit.
