Hi, I had a heart attack 28 months ago and 3 stents in my LAD. Very surprising but not totally unexpected as despite having no risk factors bar genetics , loads of my family had heart attacks so I always thought I’d get one eventually, though not at age 66. I’m doing ok but struggle emotionally to feel

Risk of stroke after stent
Following HA in 2020, due to blocked RCA, Cardio interventionists tried to insert stent in 2020 but this procedure was unsuccessful. However, two cardio interventionists (at the same time) are going to try again early next year. The procedural risk includes 1:100 chance of a stroke. Generally, my condition

CABG and beyond
Hi all. I had a triple bypass 9 months ago and went very well. The last week or so though i've been getting a bit out of breath walking sometimes ( i walk fast). Nothing major and nothing like before my bypass, but it's got me worrying i have some blockage after 9 months, with good diet and exercise.

Baseline troponin level after cabg
Dear All Just wanted to ask if anyone knows what is the baseline troponin level for someone who has done cabg say almost a year ago? I know that normally it should be less than 14. But I was told by a doctor that a cabg patient will have a normal higher elevated level? With thanks Shaivi

Father not waking up after septic shock
My beloved Dad (72) survived a severe septic shock. They called us 3 Weeks ago after a routine bile surgery and told us that he is now in the ICU. They told us he had internal bleeding and they needed to perform surgery on him. We were shocked and prayed that night that everything would go well. He survived

A diagnosis! Yipee! Kawasaki Disease, look for calcified aneurysms! (also a question about warfarin)
Hey you lovely lot! So, some of you know that I needed a 2x CABG Jan 2022 aged 34 (very nearly my newly plumbed heart's birthday!) and every Dr/Cardiologiost that looked at my notes/history/angiograms came away scratching their heads and not understanding what had happened or why my vessels were so

Tale of woe, sort of

The surgeon said to continue the blood thinners for a year. I was originally treated at Luton and Dunstable hospital (L&D), and the

Trial for efficiency of stents versus placebo
2 weeks post angiogram/ angioplasty for the orbita trial. Obviously i don't know at the moment whether I had a stent, but things looking good angina wise at the moment. Managed a couple of brisk walks this week without any angina pain, so hoping I was one of the percentage who got a stent. Bruise

2023 started on a downer again.
We’ll I thought after my 2 x MI and my quadruple CABG in 2022 I was hoping 2023 would be better and I’m sure it will but yesterday on the first of a new year I ended up at A and E. At least it’s not my heart at least I don’t think so, pain swelling and a lump in my groin, I think it’s an infected lymph

Lovely topic!!! Constipation
morning Recently had heart attack and now recovering at home after stent insertion and on the routine meds Any advice for constipation not normally an issue will this be an ongoing problem as a side affect of meds or will it improve as time goes on and activities increase? Diet and fluids are good
