Waiting time for CABG
Hi. For anyone here who has had CABG surgery at the Royal Brompton, roughly how long following your pre-assessment appointments did you have to wait for your surgery? I know these things vary but it would be useful (reassuring) to get a vague idea how much longer I may have to wait for surgery? Thanks

Low blood pressure after triple CABG
Hi everyone. I hope you are all doing ok. My husband who is 36 had his operation 3 days ago (no HA). His blood pressure has been low since then (now 90/60 but was lower 2 days after the op). He never had any problems with his BP until now. He is cold most of the time and shivers a lot. He is drinking

From Port to Picc...
Still no blood return with my dad’s port. He had chemo in his arm vein again today.I had to leave him and go to work; asked the nurses if someone could call me to tell me how he did, and if there was any change in the game plan...nobody called me, so I wonder how long they let the TPA or whatever clotbuster

Bit fed up today....
6 months post cabg x 4 and sometimes forget what happened as my recovery has been so good. However last week I had the aches and symptoms of a virus and this week I have a gastric bug. Anyone else find they pick things up so much easier now?

Inducible ischaemia outlook
My letter back from the specialist after MRI (I have had h/a and cabg in last year) shows ‘inducible ischaemia in basal mid inferior and inferolateral walls : 3 segments ‘ I have read that this type of ischaemia has poor outcomes. Can anyone throw some light/offer hope. Thanks

Back, neck, shoulder problems
Newbie here. CABG x 3 in March 19. On usual meds. Been recovering well and back exercising, jogging etc. Lots of walking, no breathlessness. Every couple of months I get occasional neck and shoulder, upper back stiffness and burning sensation rather than sharp pain. What would be causing this? Is

PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE
Hi, my dad had a coronary artery bypass graft surgery this April. I have been looking for private medical insurance for him with little or no luck.

Anxiety over life expectancy after Heart Bypass - how to cope?
Prior to my double heart bypass last year, I was told by the surgeon there was a 20% mortality rate after a bypass within 5 years. My operation was successful but this figure is preying on my thoughts... I’ve read about a long tracking study from Holland (I believe over 30 years) with a sizeable number
