Criteria for choosing non-emergency CABG?
My dad is scheduled for an angioplasty next week. His flow test and scans have revealed at least three significant blockages (over 70%) one of which is in his LAD. The doctors are planning to insert stents, but said the cath will give them a better sense of the blockages and if CABG is the better option

Stage Iv esophogeal cancer / terminal

Will my dad be okay?
Hi all - I’m writing because I’m really worried about my dad (62 yrs). He’s been having some pain between his shoulder blades while exercising for a few months now. He went in to see his cardiologist last week, and came back with a calcium score of 2200 and an appointment for an angioplasty + at least

Live alone; what help will I need at home after a CABG?
I'm due to have a bypass in the next month for 1, possibly 2 or 3,
coronary
arteries following repeat in-stent restenosis after 2
angioplasty
procedures. My question relates to the extent that I'll need any assistance at home after leaving hospital given that I live alone.

Post op pain after stent
Hi guys, just joined the site. Iv had 2 stents inserted in my main artery 10 days ago. I still have pain in my back and arm, plus a bit of breathlessness like before. The doc said I'd 90% blockage and he needed to do a lot to get stents in. I never had heart spray or heart pain meds as I was diagnosed

New Member - Angioplasty and four stents
Hi I had an Angioplasty and four stents on Thursday. Another artery may be stented in four weeks. Not sure about it all but I feel fine like I'm going to live forever. This came after angina not a heart attack. Do Stents last for ever these days? I'm 59 and don't really fancy a triple bypass op in ten

Uncertain still as to when I should worry
So I had my stent in March all other arteries fine except left circumflex which has a moderate blockage (around 60%) deemed insignificant with FFR wire study and I’ve been doing everything right... stopped smoking taking regular meds eating healthy excercising. Quite a lot of people I’ve noticed say

Life insurance
Hi my husband had a heart attack In December 2018. He had a stent fitted. We are in the process of buying a house and I was wondering if anyone on here had successfully obtained life insurance. If not did you manage to get any other insurances to protect your home financially. Tia

Anxiety chest pain
Does anybody else get chest pains randomly that radiate all over the chest and tend to come and go. Some feel like pressure and some like stabs or deep stabs that go across your chest? I dont feel like i’m having anxiety at the moment. I’m trying to relax and i’m feeling, yet again, what feels like another

Hi, New today
Hi all, I'm a 60 year old women, had a stent fitted about 6 weeks ago. I have never smoked, drink moderately and hardly anything now and eat a reasonably good diet. They say my problem is genetic. I had been doing regular exercise and strength training before I returned to my manual job last week, but

I'm new here....
Just turned 69 and on Wednesday 16th September I had a heart attack at home . I knew what was happening so rang for an ambulance immediately. Have never been so scared in my life but as I was alone tried to be brave. Went to hospital on blue lights and received a stent in the main artery. On Friday

Possible surgery
My husband had HA last November, STEMI, 1 stent fitted to RCA. Told his LAD is ‘diffusely diseased’ and could not be stented so decided to treat with meds. He’s recovered really well then just started with random pains and tiredness over the last week. Called ambulance yesterday morning and he’s been

Ticagrelor starting today
Hello I’m new to this group. I’ve had a stent fitted one week ago after only discovering I had heart disease 4 weeks ago. The stent was fitted in my left LAD Artery. I was put on Clopidogrel and after 5 days I developed a severe rash. The consultant has now changed me onto Ticagrelor which I just started

From stent to surgery
You may have seen my previous post but to recap, mum had a heart attack on Wednesday morning. She had a couple of stents put in to a blockage and went for another angiogram today. Unfortunately there is a calcium and fat buildup which is not suitable for stenting. She has been told she will have to
