rhubidium scan result and angiogram/stents next week
I have more than 10% ischaemia in the lateral wall (circumflex territory) and epicardial calcification on CT for cancer surveillance. How mild or serious is this? I am having an angiogram next week with stent if possible but there is a chance I will need a CABG instead. Any similar experiences?

22 years of Bisoprolol
I had a double bypass 21 years ago at the age of 44. I had a stent inserted 4 years later. I have a heart murmur caused by a subaortic membrane for which I have a yearly echo and follow up and have recently been diagnosed with micro vascular angina.

I’m new here, but wanted to share a positive message and touch on post heart attack mental health
I’m 58 and suffered a heart attack (STEMI), on a plane followed by cardiogenic shock in April 2022. I have 5 stents fitted to two arteries supplying my heart. I went into cardiogenic shock shortly after the first 4 stents were inserted during the heart attack. I was taken into intensive care and had

not happy!
feeling abandoned! Hi everyone! In two days time it will be the third year anniversary of my stent operation. I didn’t have a heart attack. Just shortness of breath and the angiogram (I think) found a “severe” blockage in my LAD. I assumed)dangerous) that I’d be back to normal after the stent. But

The article referred to below
This paper is behind a paywall, so I'll get it elsewhere. But it shows the benefits of giving T3 to patients after heart failure. This is just the abstract

Was discharged last week after 3 weeks in The Christie, she has been doing well at home although meds are totally wiping her out(

Random Halloween Question
Morning all, So I have an unusual question for you all this morning. In my family, I’m very close to my twin sister (she’s currently going through squamous cell carcinoma), my girlfriend, my daughter and her girlfriend and my son and his boyfriend.

Stopping heart attack meds After 12 months
I have stopped Ticagrelor and Omeprazole after taking for 1 year following 1 stent fitted for heart attack. I did not wean off them just stopped. I've had bad stomach ache, constipation, feeling sick, acid since, particularly bad laying down I'm thinking it's because of stopping Omeprazole? Any ideas

Angina after CABG x3 and Clots
I had cabg x3, aged 56 on 16th September this year followed by internal bleeding, AF and collapsed lung. (I never do anything easy!) Was meant to be a quad but I had no 4th vein to use. Was sent home after 10 days in hospital. 2 days later was rushed in A&E by ambulance with a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism

5 1/2 years post ablation
It is so nice to come back to this group and find some familiar names still helping other people. My ablation was successful but with difficult 2 months recovery. A few times I had short episodes of general weakness with shortness of breaths. Every time it happened was after having coffee. Now things

Leg Question after CABG
Hello Just a question on how people's leg wound has behaved after Vein removal for use in the bypass op. After 7 years mine has started to play up with a little pain around my ankle well more than a little pain really! My Dr has asked for a doppler test to see what's going on as I have also just developed
