Trial for efficiency of stents versus placebo
2 weeks post angiogram/ angioplasty for the orbita trial. Obviously i don't know at the moment whether I had a stent, but things looking good angina wise at the moment. Managed a couple of brisk walks this week without any angina pain, so hoping I was one of the percentage who got a stent. Bruise

Who do I contact?
my LAD is 90% blocked. They’re unable to stent. After a stress test in an MRI a member of my consultants team phoned. He asked if I had any symptoms, I said no. He asked if I was still taking all the medications after a stent was put in another artery. I said I was. He asked how I felt about that? I

Post CABG and butterflies
I've always had an interest in butterflies (lepidoptera) but life got in the way over the years and my hobby fell by the wayside - like a lot of us I suppose. While I've been off work recovering from a CABGx3 in February this year I found six little caterpillars on a kale-type plant near one of my

Got the Second Opinion
And I am SO glad I did! In a prior post, I had told about events leading up to a cardiologist getting snippy with me because I questioned the need for an ablation. The more research I did the more convinced I became that my gut feeling was right and I set up an appt. with a different doctor. Monday

LVDD (Left Ventricle Diastolic Dysfunction) - Diuretic/ARB
I am from India aged 51 yrs. I got my CABG done for single artery (LAD) 6 months back. Post surgery I developed breathlessness and could not walk out for two months. Though i consulted many doctors only one doctor gave me diuretic Torasemide 5mg and that helped me to walk as my breathlessness improved

Chest pain
First time posting on here. Can anyone tell me how long your chest hurts after CABG surgery? Had my op two weeks ago and progressing well with exercise, 2000 steps today, impatient to get back to normal but can’t get my lungs filled enough to improve my breathing.

tight proximal disease
Hi
I’ve just had a letter detailing the results of my angiogram and confused with the terminology.
Can anyone explain the term ‘tight’ as in tight proximal disease. I have had two stents fitted 17 years ago and this appears to be following the area of one of the stent s in the LAD

Have you had an endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage? Request for help from National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE)
Bile is a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder that aids in the digestion of fats. Biliary obstruction is when the channels carrying bile from the liver and gall bladder into the small intestine (bile ducts) become blocked, and is most commonly caused by tumours or gallstones. This

Anxiety Struggle
Good morning, well here goes another day. As soon as I wake up I think I can hear my heart pounding and just seem anxious all day. I was taken off Citalopram back in March following a heart event (not a heart attack but diagnosed with CAD with a narrowing in my LAD, no stent needed at the moment). I

Bronchitis, hospitalization and pancytopenia
hi everyone, I am currently on peg 45mcg/week and somehow got a nasty bronchitis that I was unable to shake. I was sent by my GP to the hospital ER to receive IV antibiotics and they decided to admit me because of my past history of having a heart attack and current stent (that’s another story). While

Bypass next week
Hi, I am going in for a CABG (sternotomy) in 9 days time, I had a double bypass via a midcab 5 years ago which didnt fully work so here we go again. On my previous op I was discharged with large dressings which I wore for a few weeks, but reading the paperwork I have been given it says I will be discharged

6 month study for use of stents versus placebo effect
Had the angiography/angioplasty friday. Obviously don't till the end of the 6 months whether I had a stent or not. Procedure went well not to uncomfortable just felt a bit of tugging. Choice of music to listen to. Problem after as groin incision decided to seep so ended up having injection to tighten

Those of you who have read my posts will know that in 2020 i had two stents fitted one in each artery which led to so many things appearing, frozen shoulder in one arm tennis elbow in the other. Due to walking as part of my rehabilitation i found
