from nothing to bypass!!
so had another angiogram today following a Myoview perfusion test that showed some lack of blood to the heart! consultant advised unlikely anything to worry about and likely a false positive on the scan just come out of catheter lab having been told I either need a complex stent or a bypass!!

Heart attack still smoking and drinking
Hi my husband 51 had a heart attack,and since this has had a stent fitted with the possibility of another stent in the future. My husband likes to socialise and is now after three weeks is still smoking and binge drinking. I'm trying to support him but feel very worried that this heart attack hasn't

How cool is this ? Love the war wound! Back home last night in the rain - my loving wife drove to the Royal Brompton and home to Bedfordshire in the pouring rain last night to get me home - a train journey would have been hell! A night in my own bed, some proper sleep, a shave, haircut and shower

To monitor or have surgery?
I was recently diagnosed with an aneurysm on my internal carotid artery. The team at the Wessex Neurological Centre have told me it’s a borderline decision on whether to do surgery or monitor it and that the choice is up to me. If they proceed with surgery they would need to do an endovascular stent

Another echo about a year later and EF still same. Since July 23rd this year have been experiencing constant AF (all day and night without

Northern Ireland Cardiologist ?
I know this is a long shot but can anyone recommend a private cardiologist in N. Ireland ? I have never used private clinics before in my life but I'm desperate to get some advice on the failure of my stent to resolve my angina. Going private seems to be the only way to get a consultation.

Narrowing Arteries
Hi there - I don’t post too much but find this site amazing and so supportive. What a great community for everyone. It’s so nice to hear everyone sharing their stories and getting some great advice back. I do have one question tho. I had a stent last year, for a 99% blocked artery. I have another narrowed

breathlessness
I am feeling very breathless today but with no pain in my chest just a weird fluttering feeling.I’ve got angina and I’m waiting on a stent for a 100 per cent blocked artery. Has anybody had theses symptoms? I get breathless but it just seem I still am even when I rest.

CABG Update
On the mend - it’s funny how you seem to feel improvements exponentially each day but a few ups and downs - they’re planning to discharge me on Tuesday if the pace of recovery continues - just don’t want to rush it too much but all seems positive so far 😀

Flying after stent
Can I ask how soon people flew after they had a stent fitted. Did you experience any side effects during the flight?

Hi everyone. I had a heart attack on 3rd Aug 2023 and was rushed to the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital where the great staff there managed to save my life. I have had a stent fitted and hoping to go home on 8th Aug. All seems to have gone well with just some soreness. The hospital and everyone involved

So here goes - at The Royal Brompton with one last night before my triple CABG tomorrow - being woken up @ 6am before being taken down to surgery. Suddenly it’s all got a bit ‘real’ - oh well, what’s the worst that could happen………….

Any bikers had CABG? How long before back on the motorbike?
Hi everyone, I’m recovering from quadruple bypass, nearly 2 months . Was told 3 weeks ago I was ok to drive. Consultant said give it a few more weeks before being allowed to ride. What was your experience of getting back on the bike post surgery? I’m a newbie, only passed CBT end of March and was

Angioplasty
I have just been told by my cardiologist that I need to have an angioplasty with stent because there is a narrowing of my LAD. I am freaking out - I’m 42 this year and have an 8 year old daughter and a wife who I love very much. I have heard CVD in the LAD is very serious - a widow maker. What

left sided chest pain for over 2 years after stent
I had one sent in June 2021. I have had left sided chest pain since than. Any one else in the same situation. Pain seems to be constant, breathing ok. Any solutions ? Stress echo normal, holter monitor normal.
