Heart attack (Stemi) and unable to stent because of ectatic Coronary artery
Last August I had a STEMI. A heart attack which resulted in the complete blockage of the Right coronary artery. When they looked via the angiogram/angioplasty they found that the artery was ectatic. That means apparently that it is not uniform in cross section , and not smooth in end to end shape. They

My Dad had a heart attack
Hello, last Tuesday (4/4/21) my Dad (74) suffered a heart attack, before arriving at the hospital he had to have his heart restarted twice. He was fitted with 5 stents and placed on various medications and was told that his heart was badly diseased but he was not told that he had heart failure. Thankfully

Need some practical advice
On March 9th I went into hospital with chest pains. On the 13th I was discharged with a diagnosis of unstable angina, with some new pills called Nicorandil and a summary discharge letter. I have had an echocardiogram and a heart CT. Since I was discharged I’ve heard nothing - no outpatient appointment

GTN Spray Effects
I have had to use my GTN spray several times after my heart attack kast September. I dread using it and put off using it as it makes dizzy and i feel really sick and get a head breaking headache within minutes of using it. Does anyone else suffer any problems using it?

Cycle No More – or maybe?
I had my latest angiogram on Friday 5 mar, the result of which was that no additional stents were fitted and that no physical improvement actions were implemented. Although I was aware of the possibility that no improvements would be possible during this process I really was not mentally prepared for

Questions about stents and support
Update and questions I haven't posted on here for a while for many reasons (including the whole COVID thing) but as I'm still trying to get my head round stuff and had questions, I'm hoping there are some of you out there who can offer me some ideas/support. I'm currently seen at the Brompton, where

Coronary Angiogram
I'm due to go into have this on Wednesday. Very relieved, slightly nervous... more than slightly when I think about it too much. The hospital have decided to do a two in one so to speak, if they find it's a blocked artery they will put in a stent whilst I'm there so I'm taking blood thinning tablets

Heart Twinges after physical activity
I had 3 stents fitted after MI in April last year. Every now and then, I get twinges in my heart. I this is normal and nothing to worry about. I cycle at least 5 days a week for 6 miles, HR up to 130 with no issues. My concern is, after being very active over the weekend, house clearing, I am having

anxiety after a stent fitting
Hi. I'm new here. I had a series of HAs, an angiogram and a stent in the LAD coronary artery two weeks back, in Oxford's JR hospital. Everything was fine, and this miraculous operation described as 'routine'. Since then I've often felt perfectly ok, but have also had days (and nights) where I almost
