Referral for Angiogram
After a recent telephone conversation with a cardiologist I am being referred for an angiogram (with angioplasty if required). Over the last two years have begun to find hills a little harder. Looking for good advice and positive comments on how I can prepare myself prior to the procedure for good outcomes

Angiogram results
Well yesterday was my test day. I posted about it was going to be an angioplasty but I didn’t really want stents if there was a problem I wanted another bypass as it’s so close to my Quad CABG being done last year then I’d rather get it fixed then repaired. I had a long chat with the cardiologist and

Tric and aspirin
You will prob be on aspirin every day but the tric usually only a year after HA and stent. My husband was on it for a year and bled alot if he scratched or cut himself. Usually causes this but it stopped after he stopped taking it when the year was, up

Angioplasty not angiogram?
Hi all, as you probably know it looks like two of my bypasses have failed only 8 months after having 4 done😩. I’ve been under investigation and I was told last week they were getting me in quickly for an angiogram then decide the next step? Today I’ve had a letter saying I’m in on the 3rd March for

Travel Insurance with a Stent
I'm getting a stent soon. Just wondering - will this make travel insurance a lot more costly or difficult to obtain?

Erythritol has been linked to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack and death
Purified stevia leaf extracts (Truvia, PureVia, others) use this artificial sweetener and I was wondering how this would affect those on blood thinners, like Warfarin, who must maintain a certain pro time level. There was a study done in Cleveland and reported widely with some unexpected results. I

pretty gutted and looking for some inspiration.
I’m sitting here feeling pretty gutted and disappointed with myself. Back in November 2020 I had a very mild heart attack and a stent fitted, when I say mild I mean it was mild in form of symptoms and impact in the function of my heart. It was obviously still serious as it was a heart attack and I was

CABG Scar By Zorro
Had a Cabg 18 wks ago and this left a sternum scar about five inches long.I think they use glue to close it rather than stitches and there was a dressing that stayed on for a few days. The scar was quite scary to begin with but i didn't give it much thought.Then as i got better and my thoughts turned

Post cabg.2- 16wk recovery review
I recovered well, no issues, but my cardio was very slow, and this annoyed me because pre op i was quite fit.I didn't want the op and didn't believe i needed it.Plus i was scared.The surgeon wanted a four way and i definitely wasn't having that.I said i don't want it to to fail, not two years in or ten

4 instead of 3
I was told when I was last in hospital that I have 4 arteries in my heart instead of 3… anyone else had this ? Apparently it’s not mega rare but was only on 3rd visit after stent and on seeing about the 10th doctor he mentioned it !! Considering the amount of atherosclerosis in them maybe it’s

Stuck!- Now Surviving on an All Clear Liquid Diet.
Hey all, I just wanted to post an update on my personal Colon Cancer Stage 4 journey. Things have taken a very strange and not good turn for me. I truly am very Worried and Concerned about the refusal of local Drs. to put a Stent into my Colon -(they all say I desperately Need!), so that I can go on

Second opinion?
Hello everyone, Great to have found this community. I'm getting mixed diagnostics from my Urologist: I have a fully collapsed ureter + the severe hydronephrosis is not bad enough to plan the next procedure 4 weeks out. This doesn't seem to make any sense and I would like to review the diagnostics with
