supra-arterial myotomy
hello has anyone had this heart surgery? It seems to be more available in US but not so in UK. Technically it’s cutting the heart muscle open to release the (most common) LAD which grew inside the heart muscle instead of on the surface of the heart during pregnancy so is a congenital heart defect (myocardial

hi! Im 41, and have had a major heart ops (13 years ago with Ross Konno procedures). Unfortunately my heart is leaking and staged moderate. Monitored annually, carefully. Has anyone had Ross Konno procedures and what kind of stent did you had for your leaky heart? How long your stent lasts for? Will

Dapagliflozin side effects
I had a heart attack and stent fitted over Christmas 2022 and have been on a cocktail of drugs since then but feel in good health. I went for a follow up angioplasty a couple of months ago and it was found that the heart attack had caused permanent damage to my heart (apparently now only 30% efficient

Hello, I've been in and out of a&e with leg & chest pain, lightheadedness, high BP 4 times this past 8 weeks since my HA & stent. So I've had an urgent referral to the cardiologist to start the process to see if I have unstable angina & possible vascular issues in my leg. I've got my list of questions

Chest wall pain
I am 6 months post NSTEMI and one stent. Generally functioning and walking lots but have near constant chest discomfort, not sure I would call it pain as such. It is nothing to do with exertion. In fact it tends to go away if I walk or run. Also goes away after a bath or if very relaxed. I am feeling

Mystified and baffled.
New to this thought my breathlessness was to do with my heart after having a stent fitted 2yrs ago or even the meds in on.I had lung function tests in July results are now back as I can't get to see my g.p.yet does anyone know what these results mean. Hospital advise inhalers and rehab. Obstructive lung

Skin problems.
I have had very itchy rash for about 12 months and wondered whether this is caused by any of the heart medications I am taking following bypass surgery two years ago. The rash seems to be getting worse and more widespread, covering large areas of my back, shoulders and chest. I am currently taking Bisoprolol

Hey everyone I've had a bit of a social media break. I hope you are all okay Yesterday (30/09) marked a year since my heart attack. I can't believe it's been a year.

Hello all, About 18 months ago I had a stent fitted - didn’t have a heart attack - but every so often I have chest discomfort, like now. I vape quite a lot (ex-smoker). I’m pretty sure that my current bout of discomfort isn’t heart related but my mind is going bonkers and now I don’t know whether I

Tumor Lysis Syndrome
As a result of developing tumor lysis syndrome 2021 while in the hospital (receiving Ven,) my kidneys were affected. This week I will have a kidney stent removed and possibly replaced. Has anyone had a similar experience? The kidney stents will be done in a hospital.
