Is it possible to take a biopsy of a cardiac artery plaque in order to determine exactly what it contains?
Hi All I was found to have, via CT Angiogram, in July 16, a very high Calcium Agatston score of 1315. I then had CABG in Feb 17 at age 66. The day before I asked if it was possible to do a biopsy of a plaque, to help in identifying what they contained. They said it was not possible. Is this correct?

New heart problem
Advice needed on angiogram I have a 98% blocked and calcified left coronary artery. Lad is 97% blocked and 4 more vessels on left side77% blocked. Too dangerous to stent or cabg. Given medication. I feel like a time bomb. Does anyone have the same problem

Coming out of lockdown with a new scar and feeling nervous
I'm new here so this feels a bit scary! Last autumn I had a bad bike accident, I went flying and the pavement took a lot of the skin from around my eye. I was sent to the burns unit and came home with two skin grafts on my face. They are healing well, but some days are really hard and it still shocks

London to Birmingham canal walk
A year ago I discovered a brother I never knew existed. I was born in London in 1960 and Mike was born in Birmingham in 1946. We have met in between lockdowns! I have survived three heart attacks, I have been stented, had angioplasty and CABG. My partner Ruby and I felt it would be appropriate to walk

Hello
Hi everyone, I am Jim aged 61 and living on the Isle of Wight with Ruby, my long suffering partner. I have survived three heart attacks, been stented, had angioplasty and a coronary artery bypass graft to the the superior side of my heart as the inferior side was too badly damaged for a graft to be viable

Please review my blood results
Hi, please review my bloods and advise. My TPA antibodies have increased since my last bloods in March. I am under an endocrinologist who said that there is nothing that can be done to reduce high antibodies. I am due to start IVF in four weeks and I am worried it will fail due to high antibodies.

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

Post CABG recovery
Hello, I hope everyone is well. I have a couple of questions for anyone who has trod the post-cardiac surgery path before me. I had a CABG on the 5th March and I am very happy with my recovery so far; I am walking for exercise and increasing my distance - although I wish it would warm up a bit. I'm
