Just diagnosed with 4.0 cm aneurysm of ascending aorta and severe calcification
Hi Friends I cannot express how shocked and dismayed I am finding out that I have severe calcification of my aorta and a 4.0 cm aneurysm. I have read that the aneurysm can be monitored yearly with imaging but there is nothing that can be done for the calcification. In the past 3 years, I have had

Heart Attack with unobstructed arteries
Hi all, I had a heart attack and a left ventricle thrombus at a young age. There is some mild narrowing in one of my arteries but I didn’t have a stent. I just wondered if anyone was in same boat and whether you had a confirmed cause/reason for it happening?

Cardio and thyroidism
5and a half years ago I suffered a heart attack. I had a stent implanted and went to cardio rehab. I have noticed over the last year I get tired quickly and have shortage of breath. I was shocked to be told by my new doctor that I have an underactive thyroid. My question is this! Is my heart contributing

Stent and cough pain?
Hi, I had a stent put in my LAD just over 3 weeks ago. If I cough it causes a pain in my chest which is only present during the cough. It dissapears as soon as the cough process is done. Feels muscular but as you know post HA any pain or sensation in the chest has you reaching for Google with worry

I posted the other day about having a stress echo, I knew it hadn’t gone well after all it lead to an angina attack. I’ve been having mild chest pains ever since my quadruple CABG last June which I thought would improve but it hasn’t. My surgeon called me today to tell me it looks like there is a problem
