Stress echo test found Inducible Ischaemia and mild Hypokinesia
Hi I have to go in for a possible stent next Friday after they have found Inducible Ischaemia and mild hypokinesia. Have to have an angiogram and am really scared about it especially when you read the risks. Have been put on statins, beta blockers and aspirin and feeling very stressed. Any reassurance

Restenosis. Any one experienced this or had it reoccur?
I had a NSTMI last August and had one stent fitted. All was fine until about 2 months ago when I started becoming increasingly breathless and then developed stable Angina. Finally had another Angiogram -original stent was 98% blocked! They widened it and put in a drug coated balloon to coat sides of

Wait for Stents & Echo Cardiogram
Hi My husband, aged 58 had an angiogram on 17th Dec. Put him aspirin, beta blocker and statins. Blood pressure and cholesterol always been good. He was told he needed an Echo and 2 stents and would receive a phone call on 20th Dec. Having not heard anything after a month contacted hospital, who apologised

How can they say it’s cirrhosis?
So, further to my dad’s diagnosis of cirrhosis last week, I’m still feeling slightly confused. In fact, I’m not even convinced it’s cirrhosis- but who am I to say?! I only have knowledge gained by excessive (and self destructive) googling. But somehow, I just don’t see how dad’s diagnosis can be wholly

New cholesterol lowering drug
With all the interest in the affect of cholesterol on PCa, I thought this paper might be of Cardiol Rev. 2019 Jan/Feb;27(1):49-56. doi: 10.1097/CRD.0000000000000218. Bempedoic Acid (ETC-1002): ATP Citrate Lyase Inhibitor: Review of a First-in-Class Medication with Potential Benefit in Statin-Refractory

Statin side effects
Hi, I'm new to this community. I have been on 80mg of Atorvastatin for the last 14 months but have noticed a marked deterioration in my short term memory and a need to think about tasks that were previously automatic, a few people in similar circumstances have mentioned this as a potential side effect

Leg pain
8 days ago had a stent fitted in my RCA, previously had two stents fitted last August after a Heart Attack. Amongst other things , over the last couple of days my right calf has become very painful, it almost feels like I have got pins and needles, with frequent sharp pains. It is very uncomfortable

High Cholesterol, High Triglycerides, High Blood Pressure and Atherosclerosis: A Potential Remedy?
PWPs seem to have a myriad of health issues in conjunction with PD. Four very common ones are atherosclerosis (AS), high blood pressure (HBP), high triglycerides (HT) and high cholesterol (HC). Wouldn't it be great if there were one supplement that could potentially treat all four problems at the same

New, first diagnosed back in 2005
I've had several different docs. Now in a new state for the past 15 months. Having a hard time starting healthcare all over. Just turned 65 and went through all the confusion of Medicare. . .that was not fun. Have a partner...so not totally alone, but feel pretty isolated. Miss my community garden. Lawn

Statins v Fibrates
Anyone tried Fibrates? I am one of the many who can't tolerate statins and my GP gave me Bezalip Mono a slow release fibrate which I took for a few months without any issues. Went for a test and my cholesterol was 5.5 and my GP wanted it lower so changed me to Fenofibrate. Upshot was the old backache

Very Interesting! Heart patients taking statins face a higher risk of type 2 DIABETES.
Heart patients taking statins face a higher risk of type 2 DIABETES as study adds further fuel to scientific row over the cholesterol-busting pills •The life-saving pills are scientifically proven to lower the risk of heart disease •But they are controversial among medics because of their potential
