angiogram update

Hi all,

Just a quick update for anyone that is interested,

I went for the cardiac angiogram on Friday and apart from a few bruises and a rash, probably a reaction to the contrast dye, I seem to be okay, however no intervention was carried out because the findings didn’t correlate with the CT angiogram and FFR analysis results. So on the CT it said moderate to severe narrowing in 2 main arteries and restricted blood flow. The angiogram finding said mild to moderate narrowing in the LAD artery and mild narrowing in the RCA both caused by calcification, no mention of blood flow restrictions, so as you can imagine I want answers as to what the results mean for me in the future.

I intend to get in touch with my local cardiologist nurse and the cardiologist secretary today and see if I can get an appointment for a proper explanation of the angiogram results and were this leaves me , do I need more tests ect, different medications.I may have to go private if an appointment is along way off, I have been worried and anxious about the initial findings ,I am now somewhat confused about the variation in results and need to get some reassurance

I am also waiting for an hysterectomy and need to make sure I am safe for that and get the Cardiologist okay before they will proceed with the operation.

Hope everyone is doing well 🙂x

Hi Buttsy, good news then on the whole but I can understand why you are a little confused. Hope you get the answers you need soon! Then you can relax a bit and concentrate on your hysterectomy. Take care.
