Twelve months on

I had a heart attack twelve months ago and had a 4.5 cm stent fitted to LAD.

All test are clear but still get pain sometimes - consultant has told me that I have blockages in minor arteries that will cause angina pain but not serious.

Is anyone else in this position?

thanks

Richard ❤️‍🩹

Hello :-)

Sorry no one seems to have got back to you maybe your post has got missed you could post again and see if someone relates

I would take reassurance though as to what your consultant has said and I am sure there will be others in your position we are never the only ones even though as I said posts can get missed sometimes :-) x

Hi Richard,

Not something I've heard off, I'm pretty sure someone will come along.

Hi I am in the same situation, my cardiologist told me I had multiply blockages in minor arteries, l also had stents fitted in lad , he told me my condition was termed as Diffused Heart Disease, during my stent fitting a young trainee cardiologist told me I had very serious heart disease, but on follow up few weeks later another cardiologist told me I know your healthy but get healthier and could get another 20 or 30 years , am 62. Hope this helps.
