rhubidium scan result and angiogram/stents next week
I have more than 10% ischaemia in the lateral wall (circumflex territory) and epicardial calcification on CT for cancer surveillance. How mild or serious is this? I am having an angiogram next week with stent if possible but there is a chance I will need a CABG instead. Any similar experiences?

Good morning all, Recently I was saved at a service station, rushed to hospital for an emergency procedure where I had a Stent fitted. Was not even aware that I was having a heart attack at the time. Looking for some advice on who not to get panicked basically. Everything has been stabilised and

Post stent pain
Hi this is my first post but I’ve been reading other peoples posts daily since I had a heart attack and stent fitted a month ago. The last couple of days I’ve started getting short, sharp stabbing pains in my chest where the stent is. It’s localized and Dr Google says this can be normal for some, post

Morning all, So I had a stent fitted 4 years ago and feel quite healthy and try and do my 30 mins exercise each day. I had a massage a couple of weeks ago and she reckoned that I shouldn't be doing exercises such as planks, press ups, bench presses etc. It's the first I've heard about it and would

Views on running after CABG?
I suppose this is a addressed to people who used to run before their operation.I used to run and I wasn't very good.Pre op on a treadmill I could run at 5mph, or twelve minute mile pace, if I veered over this I might have chest discomfort and had to take a rest.I was warned not to exert myself but felt

Post Cabg how soon do you think i can i lie on my side?

I've been lucky because i am fairly content on a pillow slope and laying stock

Angiogram and possible second Stent and Stress test coming up
Firstly thanks to those who replied to my first post about my nuasea it is improving and on a good day I have no symptoms. Firstly when I had my HA on the 12th July they fitted one stent but noticed the left side was showing some narrowing and I think they put a balloon to widen it with a possible stent

Why do I keep experiencing involuntary sharp intake of breath.
Hi I am m 3 weeks post CABG and increasingly I am experiencing sudden involuntary intake of breath. I can only describe it like when a child is sobbing and then suddenly draws in breath. My Sats are all good, breathing is otherwise normal. Has anyone else had this? 🥴
