Feeling emotional
Just wanted to get things off my chest! I had a heart attack out of the blue on 31st May. I have written a very long story about it in my bio. My hubby is working abroad. I care for our 3 teenage children and the oldest is 19. When I was back in the ward after my angioplasty and stent, I phoned my husband

Not told about job vacancy
Just looking for a bit of advise. Currently off sick following heart attack and angioplasty, due to return the end of November. Since being off sick I have had little contact with my employer, I had one phone call with my manager when I came out of hospital which was instigated by me. I then heard

Houston doc recommendations?
long story short, hospital here has made major errors, almost cost my husband his life. He needs the permanent version of an angioplasty and it don't trust it to be done where we live. He has an amazing doc at mdanderson from a recommendation on this site, we will have to see him once a month for 6

possible familial cardiac problems.
Update for my hubby. Well he had his second stage 2 stent angioplasty today, 8 weeks after his HA and first 2 stents. He still has severe left ventricular dysfunction but is feeling more positive at last. He’s even got dates for cardiac rehabilitation too. After a rough couple of months, both emotionally

Microvascular angina
Following a diagnosis last year of microvascular angina, I have been seeing another cardiologist who recently carried out an angioplasty on a blocked diagonal coronary artery. This made no difference to my symptoms. I saw him yesterday and had another treadmill test and performed well with little discomfort

looking for answers
81 yr old husband got covid at physical therapy, ended up at er where they said he also had pneumonia, they also found (and removed) a quart of fluid from around his right lung. Said he had atrial fibrillation and he also needs an angioplasty. Took too long but finally got everything treated and surgery

angioplasty with stent
had stent put in rca on Tuesday . The pain in my arm is horrendous and hot to the touch . Is this to be expected with the trauma ? And the acid reflux is quite bad . Reading up on it could be side effect to clipidogrel . Any here had similar issues

They immediately kept him in Sheffield hospital and he's having a quadruple bypass this Thursday. Feeling so scared and although they are fantastic

Just diagnosed with 4.0 cm aneurysm of ascending aorta and severe calcification
Hi Friends I cannot express how shocked and dismayed I am finding out that I have severe calcification of my aorta and a 4.0 cm aneurysm. I have read that the aneurysm can be monitored yearly with imaging but there is nothing that can be done for the calcification. In the past 3 years, I have had

Tapering
This year has not been good. Recovering from Arterial ulcer on left leg, which needed angioplasty to restore the blood flow below the knee. Healing better than expected. Then I managed to fall out of our home lift and break my left femur, near the replacement knee which has been put in 23 years ago.
