After bypass Surgery
My husband had bypass surgery in November 2022. The process was successful but sadly they damaged his ulna nerve and he lost use of his right hand and has had severe nerve pain in the right arm. We are wondering how common nerve damage is following bypass surgery and whether other people have experienced

cardiac stress perfusion MRI
Back in November I had a stent fitted as had angina attack out the blue and my RV was almost completely blocked. Since then I’ve still suffered with angina attacks. My consultant has put me on nicorandil which after fighting the side effects practically cured my angina. I’ve just today had a cardiac

Puzzling symptoms while exercising beyond 20 minutes!
Hi everyone, I am a 42 year old man, always very slim and active, non-smoker, hoping to get your opinions about some puzzling symptoms I have been experiencing while doing moderate exercise (jogging fairly leisurely on treadmill). These manifest as a kind of unsteady, mildly dizzy "need-to-stop" kind

stent
I started having chest pain in March 2022. I was referred to hospital for a CT coronary Angiogram In May 2022. The results showed I had no obstruction of the large coronary arteries. So this didn’t explain my symptoms. I just kept getting worse with many trips to the doctors saying this could be stress

Shortness of Breath
Hi folks, I have been a member of this community for awhile but have never posted. About 4 years ago, I started being very short of breath. Since I am a former smoker, the first thing that came to my mind was lung cancer. I went to lung specialist who ran numerous tests and concluded that my lungs

Billiary Stent
6 months on from my transplant and I’ve just had my second stent fitted, I walk at least 2.5 miles a day but I’d like to do a bit more moderate exercise to try and lose some belly fat. My wife is concerned that it could cause the new stent to migrate as well, is she right. Thanks Chris

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE LAD BLOCKAGE 95%
My Cardioligist did a left heart catheration last weds and placed 2 stents in my RCA that was 99% blocked. That has all seemed to work out well. He also was going to try and stent my LAD that he now says is 95% blocked. He said the entire LAD was 95% thru out the entire LAD. He decided then it would

Pain after stent
Hi, my husband had a stent 18 months ago following an Angina diagnoses and still gets some sharp pain in the chest every now and then which always happens when he is at rest. The pain is quick and sharp and doesn’t last like the Angina pain he had pre stent so he doesn’t need to use his spray. It still

I was referred to chest pain clinic at local hospital and tests and scans has revealed a considerable blockage in LAD. I went for angioplasty and they concluded

A Few Words About Atherosclerosis And A Potential Remedy
The main cause of death in the world is cardiovascular disease (CVD) and Atherosclerosis is considered a main cause of CVD.

TAVI op coming up - tips?
Hi there - my mum has a TAVI operation for a stent in her aorta coming up in July or August. She's in her early 80s and didn't know she had any heart problems until a fall a month back. Can anyone share their experiences of this procedure please - especially what happens post-op once the stent is fitted

Apologies.
Sorry for lack of update. I was really tired yesterday. Saw the on duty cardiologist yesterday morning. I now know in more detail why they wont attempt to stent me. Problem is in a small branch artery close to a major one. Attempting to stent that narrower one carries a greater risk of rupture plus would
