getting back to running
I’ve ran for many years (marathons, 10k, fell running etc.) but ended up have a stent fitted about 3 months ago due to angina (no heart attack) so reluctantly stopped running a couple of months before that. I’m recovering well and now doing cardiac rehab exercise classes which are great but relatively

Post Stent
Hi there… My consultant said I have severe heart disease, LAD 99% blocked, one at 55 and one 45. He stented the main one but said 55 and 45 were moderate and wouldn’t be done. I just wonder, now that the LAD is clear, do I still have severe heart disease or am I now clear? Thank you - this is a great

Thrill rides
Hi, So just before I was diagnosed with unstable angina I was supposed to be going to Disney with my family. I had a cardiac stent inserted and am on the usual medication. Trying to understand if I rebooked whether I could go on the 'big rides' or whether I'd be stuck holding the bags whilst the kids

Lifestyle changes after a Stemi
I had a heart attack a few weeks ago - and a nice, shiny new stent fitted that saved my life. I only spent a couple of days in hospital, thankfully. I couldn't sleep at all in the hospital - and the food was, ehh, not to my taste, to put it politely. I so want to get better. I want to live more than

Triple Bypass
Long story short, which I guess is similar to others. I’m being scheduled for a CABG. Triple bypass by the looks of things. Initially, a bit scared. Worried about my future. The standard gamut of emotions which are swirling around my mind. I guess I have a couple of questions. What’s the surgery

Stents and HCC
My husband has ascites and oedema which the scan shows to be caused by the original tumour blocking the portal vein. I wonder if anyone has had PVT and was it treated by putting in a stent as the treatment recommended by our oncologist is firstly diruretics and then an infusion of iron? The stent option

Post angioplasty severe pain in side
Hi everyone. So I had my second angioplasty on Monday, the procedure went well from the cardiologists point of view and I have had another stent fitted right next to my first one - they are overlapping. From my point of view however, when he went in my groin it really hurt - I've not had that before

7 Week Review after CABG
7 weeks since I had the CABG x 4... went in for a review with my consultant. Soooo glad I had read up on here, and had the Cardio Rehab assessment beforehand, and had made notes of the questions a needed answers too. It was brutally efficient - [i]yep your op was a success, you can do anything, and
