Angioplasty
So I had my angiogram today. Told doctor I had read up on PCI v medical therapy and the fact there’s no difference in outcome - so I don’t want a stent unless it’s absolutely necessary. Anyway, angiogram showed 90% stenosis of the LAD (proximal). When Dr showed me how much vessel would be cut off if

Lovely day out.
Hope this post I allowed. Had a lovely day at Audley end house and boy am I'm glad of the interventional cardiologist who put in my stent in last year. This time last year I would have been using my spray half a dozen times during the day, especially as it was a bit of a steep climb up to the car

Roll on to today and I'm waiting to go back for another urgent angiogram to find out why im getting so much angina. Have to say i'm a little

To stent or not to stent ?
As a result of mild, burning angina symptoms I was scanned. I have one significant blockage in the LAD artery. How significant I just don't know because it was impossible to actually get to talk to a cardiologist. Then I received an appointment to get a stent and I requested that the procedure be postponed

Driving
Im just over 4 weeks from a H/A and 3 weeks from having a stent. I had to stop driving my car for 4 weeks and I'm a LGV driver so my vocational licence is suspended until I do the treadmill test, i'm not expecting there to be an issue with that so fingers crossed when that time comes. However, I drove

Stent longevity
I was wondering what can go wrong with a stent after a number of years. For example, if a blockage forms again within the stent can they replace the stent or does it need to be bypassed ?

Looking back

It's that that started all this I was fairly ill but recovered by being in bed (oddly enough I got my first negative test Easter Sunday

Stent for angina
I began to get a burning sensation in my chest when walking last year. Angina was suggested by the GP so I got a heart scan and one significant block was detected.

heart bypass
just wondering how long people’s heart bypasses have lasted? I had a double bypass twenty one years ago and a stent fitted three years ago, all seems well up to now.

Husband needs quadruple bypass
Good evening all, I’m not sure where to start. My husband (62) was admitting to hospital 3 weeks ago with pneumonia and breathing problems. He has a routine heart ultrasound which showed severe heart malfunction. Last week he had an angiogram which we were told would diagnose the exact problem and probably

statin
I have been having a few issues with tiredness and muscle fatigue I think it could be the statin that I am on Atorvastain 40mg The doctor has told me to stop completely for 14 days to see if it is has any effect on my symptoms. I am a little concerned about stopping them completely due to my heart
