Searching for B12
Hi All, Newbie here, joined the forum to try new source B12 ampules. I’m a gastric bypass patient, 13 years post surgery and have never had B12 therapy despite this being in the post surgery guidelines. I’ve had an eventful post surgery experience which included a further bowel resection in 2017. My

How often are meds reviewed by GP or Cardiologist.
I have been on the same medication since Feb 2020, never the doses or my case reviewed with the exception of an appointment with a Cardiologist in July 2020. Dealing with my GP surgery and getting any response from them is hard work, however and before contacting them I wanted to check with others how

The French Paradox - Why the French Have the Lowest Incidence of Heart Disease in the Developed World

Hello
My twin brother had a heart attack at the weekend, he had 2 stent procedures and is now home. It has scared him and everyone in the family. From being 'fit', to feeling fragile and stunned, little overwhelmed by recovery ahead, looking to see if this community can provide some support, advice etc..

Finally had a face to face with my cardiologist
Yesterday after a long frustrating wait, I finally got a face to face meeting with my cardiologist I also took my wife to try and get through to the cardiologist how bad my issues are and how much it is affecting my day to day life. Got to say it was hard work due to her being so dismissive of things

NI Chest Heart and Stroke 5k
So,signed up yesterday for a 5k walk at Stormont at end of February . After my heart attack in April last year it amazed me how dr's can go through your wrist and insert a little metal stent into an artery to keep you alive!! Also my son has a bicuspid aortic valve which will probably need replaced

Help
I have recently been diagnosed with angina. I have artery disease ( 50-65% stenosis on LAD but my cardiologist says I don`t need a stent as my symptoms are being managed with various drugs including nitrates and statins. Is that a situation that other angina sufferers find themselves in?

Is it possible to take a biopsy of a cardiac artery plaque in order to determine exactly what it contains?
Hi All I was found to have, via CT Angiogram, in July 16, a very high Calcium Agatston score of 1315. I then had CABG in Feb 17 at age 66. The day before I asked if it was possible to do a biopsy of a plaque, to help in identifying what they contained. They said it was not possible. Is this correct?
