Blockage near junction
I had may angiogram today. One significant blockage was detected. The consultant said that the blockage is near the junction of two arteries and therefore he is not allowed to immediately fit a stent until he consults with the medical committee. He did not explain [i]

gout - aspirin?
hi. I’m 4 months post CABG x 2 and 6 months since a stent and going on all the meds including aspirin Clopidogrel ramipril bisoprolol Statins etc etc. I thought I’d got away without side effects but I’ve now had two severe gout attacks in the past month. Joints in my feet swell up with extreme pain and

Should I accept a stent?
I might be offered a stent after my angiogram tomorrow. Upon reading this article I'm not sure if I should go for it : https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-funded-studies-show-stents-surgery-no-better-medication-lifestyle-changes-reducing-cardiac-events

More angina when walking
Hi all, I've started to get angina again when I walk and I'm worried my artery is blocking again. Just as a quick background had stent Oct 2021 for 99% blockage LAD artery. My symptoms were pain on walking. Pains never went away and in fact got much worse. November 21 had another stent for 99% blockage

Not sure and nervous about using GTN spray
I had my heart attack on 26th and stent fitted. Surprisingly feel absolutely fine , but occasionally get a ‘gentle’ discomfort in the middle of my chest which doesn’t immediately go and am not sure whether to use GTN or not. Any advice on who it is best to ask regarding this as it’s a bank holiday ?

Triple Bypass surgery
Hi everyone after being informed back in July that I have severe multi vessel coronary artery disease I was informed yesterday that I need a triple heart bypass. I don’t mind admitting that this terrifies me and thought hearing from others in the same situation may help. I have also been diagnosed with

Home from hospital after heart attack
Short version of my story is that on Xmas evening I had a heart attack. I had to be resuscitated twice. In the ambulance and again at the hospital while they were inserting the stent. During various echo and ct scans they found a couple of abnormalities unrelated to what happened. Issues with the valves

hi I had a heart attack Christmas Eve it was the most terrifying experience I have ever had, they fitted a stent and I am at home now feeling pretty good. I used to smoke but have not had one since.

Hi, I had a heart attack 28 months ago and 3 stents in my LAD. Very surprising but not totally unexpected as despite having no risk factors bar genetics , loads of my family had heart attacks so I always thought I’d get one eventually, though not at age 66. I’m doing ok but struggle emotionally to feel

Varicose Veins ( Heart Related question )

Raised lump on CABG scar
I have a scar on my left forearm where the radial artery was harvested 17 months ago. Every now and then a “ sort of hive” appears in the exact same spot. It can be itchy but not sore in any way. It will go in a few hours. Has anyone else experienced this ?

Risk of stroke after stent
Following HA in 2020, due to blocked RCA, Cardio interventionists tried to insert stent in 2020 but this procedure was unsuccessful. However, two cardio interventionists (at the same time) are going to try again early next year. The procedural risk includes 1:100 chance of a stroke. Generally, my condition
