Stents AFTER failed CABG
Had stents fitted on Wednesday. Got home last night after a stay in CCU overnight. I was told at the time the surgeon managed to stent all three arteries (even the fully blocked one with 2 long stents, yayy!) Now I'm home and read the discharge letter it says one balloon to one artery and stents in the

Request for my views on rux
A couple of months ago I had a lesion removed from my nose and
skin
graft
to cover the hole! However, it’s still a small price to pay for quality of life. Rux has given me back a good quality of life, hardly ever get fatigued any more. Good luck. Bruddery (Janice)

”Novel” myocardial bridge surgery - article
Hello for anyone interested and / or with a MB, I came across the article below which offers up a “novel” approach to CABG surgery for extensive bridges (greater than 5mm deep I interpreted that as). this article suggests a bypass with the LIMA from the point of entry to the point of exit. There is

It’s gone a bit pear shaped
I posted the other day about having a stress echo, I knew it hadn’t gone well after all it lead to an angina attack. I’ve been having mild chest pains ever since my quadruple CABG last June which I thought would improve but it hasn’t. My surgeon called me today to tell me it looks like there is a problem

boils and lupus
Hi all, Still fighting to get any support even though it has been confirmed I have lupus! I now have started to get giant boils in my groin and armpit. Does anyone else get these? Sorry about the graphic image 😞 I am in so much pain and all my neck glands are up too.

Q10 Supplement
My chiropractor suggested I might benefit from taking a supplement called Q10 gold. The research I did was quite interesting done by Pharma Nord, seems their studies with people with heart problems eg heart failure also CABG mortality rate reduced considerably, also enhanced energy levels etc. My Chiropractor

Even in the winter months UV rays are present.

Dental Surgery and bone graft needed. Will prednisone inhibit the bone graft from taking?
Hi everyone! I just had the most painful root canal on my right front tooth last week! So bad I was bodily shaking. I was informed that the infection has been brewing for quite some time and has caused an area of the bone under my nose not to grow around the root. The endodontist put me on an antibiotic

Epigastric pain
Hi all I’m getting a dull pain in my epigastric region, that’s kind of the area just below your heart in the centre. I’ve had it for sometime how and mentioned it to the cardiologist but they don’t seem bothered as it isn’t directly my heart, even thought it started after my CABG. Im starting to wonder

Cellulitis in foot and hands, leading to dramatic skin changes all over my body
I have primary lymphoedema in my left foot which has been well controlled through compression and daily creaming of the affected area. Despite showing no signs of any lesion I developed cellulitis which went un-diagnosed for a week or so as I was unaware of what it was. My foot and ankle were very swollen

CABG and beyond
Hi all. I had a triple bypass 9 months ago and went very well. The last week or so though i've been getting a bit out of breath walking sometimes ( i walk fast). Nothing major and nothing like before my bypass, but it's got me worrying i have some blockage after 9 months, with good diet and exercise.

Baseline troponin level after cabg
Dear All Just wanted to ask if anyone knows what is the baseline troponin level for someone who has done cabg say almost a year ago? I know that normally it should be less than 14. But I was told by a doctor that a cabg patient will have a normal higher elevated level? With thanks Shaivi

A diagnosis! Yipee! Kawasaki Disease, look for calcified aneurysms! (also a question about warfarin)
Hey you lovely lot! So, some of you know that I needed a 2x CABG Jan 2022 aged 34 (very nearly my newly plumbed heart's birthday!) and every Dr/Cardiologiost that looked at my notes/history/angiograms came away scratching their heads and not understanding what had happened or why my vessels were so

Anyone had EMDR
Hi all like so many on here we all know how our mental health suffers following the sort of cardiac problems we all have. I’ve been told a few times due to My 2 x HT and quadruple CABG all within a month and what I’ve seen at work I probably have PTSD well that’s now been confirmed and I have to say

2023 started on a downer again.
We’ll I thought after my 2 x MI and my quadruple CABG in 2022 I was hoping 2023 would be better and I’m sure it will but yesterday on the first of a new year I ended up at A and E. At least it’s not my heart at least I don’t think so, pain swelling and a lump in my groin, I think it’s an infected lymph

When does a mole spell melanoma!
WHEN DOES A MOLE SPELL MELANOMA?Superficial spreading melanoma is the most common form of melanoma which accounts for around 70% of cases. It can arise from a seemingly, normal or healthy pre-existing mole or freckle, but the majority appear as a new mole. Take note of the ABCDE rule and take charge

Reason to be cheerful
Obvs a lot of people are really worried about heart diseases in this forum. TBH I sometimes share those concerns ... but in general I try to post positive reassuring posts about CHD and CAD. I'm 63 (64 in a few days) and have been really busy with a nerdy consultancy project. Quite by chance the project

So fed up, after CABG worse off.
I don't know if anyone remembers me. I had a triple bypass on 16th September followed by internal bleeding, severe AF, a collapsed lung and fluid on the lung. Two days after discharge I was rushed back in to my local hospital with a saddle PE, PEs in both lungs and a clot in my heart. These had clearly
