My Primary care sent me to a cardioligist that doe legs and heart, all in one. I went because my legs have been hurting never expecting any issues with CAD. They ran a CT audigram on me and to my surprise want to do a left heart catheterization! They were trying to scheduling but told them would like to speak to cardiologist first to see what they found! He said it showed 75% LAD Blockage, 99% Right cardiac and 90 percent in left circumflex back. Well, I am totally freaked out and scheduled for the left heart catheterization on the 21st of June. What does this all mean. Nervous about procedure for stents (I think that's what he will do) and such. Anyone else been in this situation, what did they do and how do you feel. Thanks for any info...

Hello :-)

This must have come as a shock and so I can imagine how worried it has made you feel and I do not know what they will do it maybe stents but if so they really are nothing to be afraid of

Try and think that you are lucky you were sent and they spotted something was not right and now they are going to do something about it

Let us know how you get on :-) x
