CT Angiogram
Good Morning, I'm off to have a CT scan tomorrow I've never had one of these before, I've had a few angiograms but my surgeon doesn't want me to have another one for a while. I have three stents and the last angiogram showed a small vessel that was totally blocked but was too small to stent. I'm getting

Foods to avoid after heart attack and stent fitted
Hi there. Has anyone had any advice from the cardiac team about any foods to avoid? I'm on aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blockers, BP tablets and statins. I know to avoid grapefruit juice, and recently found out about avoiding cranberry juice as well. I've also read conflicting information about avoiding

Medication changes. Trying to keep positive.
My cardiologist for the first time has deleted a couple of meds, Nicorandil 20mg twice a day and Isosorbide 120mg day. Plus swapped Metopolol 75mg twice a day to Bisoprolol 10mg daily. Just had my 5th stent, 7th angiogram. I found this one more difficult to cope with. Just because no matter what my

I've been prescribed aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blockers, blood pressure tablets and statins, and to be honest

Worried for my father
My father aged 58 had a widow maker heart attack in September 2020 and had initially ignored symptoms leading to delayed angioplasty by 4 days, where two stents were placed. One more stent was placed in the RCA in December 2020 after the blockage increased from 80 percent to 99 percent in just three

Does anybody here take Isosorbide Mononitrate 60 mg twice a day ?
Had a 3 X CABG 7 years ago, I’m now a 64 years old, male. Everything since then has been fine, until recently, as I've now started to get angina attacks in the early mornings whilst asleep, and if I exert myself (like walking to the shops). I had to go to A&E when using my GTN spray did not work on

Is it normal to have an attack a day after having a Stent?
I had a stent fitted Tuesday and was discharged after having a heart attack on the previous Friday. I presented with jaw pain. Since my stent I have had 1 attack a day so far again with jaw pain. I have used GTN spray and it event2took the pain away. But is this usual to happen so frequently?

Failed CABG
Hi all. So just over two years ago I had a double CABG. I required a graft to my LAD and OM2 artories. Over the last 6 months I have been having some angina-like pains and have just had the results from a cardio CT scan which shows my OM2 graft has failed. However, the cardiologist reckons that this

How much damage can we expect
My mum had a heart attack and had two stents put in in 2006. Also with angina over a week ago she started to become breathless until 7 days later she could not talk. A GP rang an ambulance immediately. Her legs are now filled with fluid and docs have said there is significant damage to the artery walls
