Lifespan of stents?
I had stents following major heart attack end of last year. While in hospital a few patients who had already had stents for a while were either being re-stented or given bypass surgery.

My ecg, bloods and another angiogram do not show a new heart attack (which I am really pleased with) but I am

I was just recently diagnosed, well not even that, I was told my numbers were off and my sodium is low, I've been a type 1 diabetic for over 50 years, I'm just reading on the internet and being frightened and depressed. I've given up dairy and colas and coffee, no small sacrifices! I haven't seen
