Reopening blocked artery
5 years after a quad CABG one of my vein grafts is failing and has not reacted well to stenting. The plan is now to reopen one of my blocked arteries in a procedure called Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (cto pci). I just wondered whether anyone has had experience of this procedure

CT Angiogram
Good Morning, I'm off to have a CT scan tomorrow I've never had one of these before, I've had a few angiograms but my surgeon doesn't want me to have another one for a while. I have three stents and the last angiogram showed a small vessel that was totally blocked but was too small to stent. I'm getting

Foods to avoid after heart attack and stent fitted
Hi there. Has anyone had any advice from the cardiac team about any foods to avoid? I'm on aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blockers, BP tablets and statins. I know to avoid grapefruit juice, and recently found out about avoiding cranberry juice as well. I've also read conflicting information about avoiding

Medication changes. Trying to keep positive.
My cardiologist for the first time has deleted a couple of meds, Nicorandil 20mg twice a day and Isosorbide 120mg day. Plus swapped Metopolol 75mg twice a day to Bisoprolol 10mg daily. Just had my 5th stent, 7th angiogram. I found this one more difficult to cope with. Just because no matter what my

Safe to take supplements?
Hi, With all the meds I'm taking in first year after triple CABG is it safe to take supplements (namely Vitamin D / zinc in winter months)? Or will I be overwhelming my liver? Thanks

Sternum Clicking post CABG
I am experiencing Sternum Clicking post CABG. Now 4 weeks since surgery and I’ve had minor clicking for about 2-weeks. Like 4-6 clicks or pops per day, mostly later in the day when I’m tired. Have you experienced this and how long does it take to heal? Thanks so much. It’s a bit disturbing 🙃

Hello, new to the forum
Hi everyone, new member here. I've been reading a lot of posts on the forums, and it's good to know I'm not the only one having problems with medication after a heart attack and stent fitted. I've been prescribed aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blockers, blood pressure tablets and statins, and to be honest

Worried for my father
My father aged 58 had a widow maker heart attack in September 2020 and had initially ignored symptoms leading to delayed angioplasty by 4 days, where two stents were placed. One more stent was placed in the RCA in December 2020 after the blockage increased from 80 percent to 99 percent in just three

CHD
My Mum died 11 days ago from CHD, My Dad had a triple heart bypass, 6 and half years ago. And sadly died 8 weeks later, CHD was one of the cause. What are the chances of me developing this?

Stent in November now diagnosed with Leaky Aortic Valve
Hi all, As many of you will know, I’m 45ys of age and shocked to find I had needed a stent fitted in LAD four months ago. It took a little emotional adjusting to. Now been diagnosed with a moderately leaky aortic valve. I’m now going through that initial shock response again. I’m sure I’ll adjust to

4 weeks post cabg and back in hospital.
Hi everyone it's been 4 weeks since my double bypass. I've been having breathing issues and yesterday Dr's asked me to go to hospital as fluid on my left lung. Dr's have just done ward rounds and my left lung is full of fluid. I could either have a needle put in but it would only drain 1 1/2 litres so
