Great to learn that. I had two stents 10 years ago in my LAD after a heart attack. Can you please share besides exercise what food and medicine have you been taking to avoid any further problem. Thanks. i shall be grateful.

No special diet, but I do not eat too much fatty or fried food, do not smoke and only consume a very few alcoholic drinks a week. Medications still taken are one 5Mg Ramipril, one 25 Mg Metoprolol and one 20 Mg Atorvastatin per day. In addition, I take an 81 Mg Aspirin and 100 Mg Co-Enzyme Q10 daily. (non-prescription supplements) I use a Garmin fitness tracker to monitor my daily activity and nightly sleep as well as my heart rate. (very useful when exercising)

Thanks

77! You are my hero!

Are you still alive? Asking for a friend.

Reine Wahrheit sorry

I think it's pretty typical to have to beat the info out of them. I swear, the inaction and inattentiveness of my cardiologist seems like it was designed to kill me. He has been fired and he should be retired and I now demand answers to every question that pops into my head or my wife's head. Make them tell you; it's their job.

How r u now?

How u holding up

How are you now sir?

How are you now sir 🎉?

lar4305 Please email me...kirbylatasha@gmail.com I'd like to hear more. I am diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension with both arteries blocking

My father had stenting some years back, It would be really cool if you could tell me your daily life style about food and workout on sahilgarg2908@gmail.com, that would be really helpful, thanks

How ru now sir

Iam 31and I had 2stents 3months back

@J0llroger - Hi, that's great, May you live long aand healthy life. My mother got stent recently, so wanted to understand from you what all precautions you took, what all you can eat and can't eat, what kind of exercise you can do..i would be really grateful if you can please let me know about it. Thank you so much

Now how is he?

@@manishdhumal2590 Doing great.

Your reply has brought in so much hope, I'm sure. God bless you!

You ok?

I’ve been on plavix daily and one baby aspirin since age 49 turning soon to 69.. it’s all how your body reacts..I have no issues with bleeding..because my heart disease is more genetic from long family history..all my siblings when removed from plavix had more strokes and bypass and stents added..they have all since passed away with the exception one brother..I believe the only reason was my plavix..to date I’m the only one who had no more heart stents..I do have blockages everywhere.. I’m now taking medication to open my arteries more for blood and oxygen…I feel blessed I have had 20 years more…God is good..

Nice information

Agree. I'm going for a stent in a couple of weeks and I had to really suck info out of my doctor. Then they also don't like it when we look for information on Google and KZfaq. Well this is one example video of trustworthy info that you do find.

You must get your info from KZfaq but a good cardiac rehab program includes much of this information, if not more. The docs don't have time to educate everyone.

And what about anakanapanasan

It doesn't happen generally.

What are the diameters of these stents?

How are you now sir,🎉?

I was wide awake during all my procedures, except my bypass surgery of course, and from my point of view the catheterization was the only thing that mad the percentage of blockage clear.

Its been 2 years. How you doing am 40 i got my stent a month ago.

It's the statins causing that. Try a lower dose or go off them all together, work with your doctor.

There no money in that. Putting people on meds its a money 💰 making opportunities

First of all.. I had the balloon done.. the balloon forces the blockage up inside the arterial wall..one nick of that wall would be over for the patient..balloons don’t always work.. slowly they can close back.. the balloon is removed from the artery after the procedure..at the Time mine was done there were not stents available for lower branch my blockage is in back in 2004..

Is her stent Still work?

Don't be tensed. My dad has bp, diabetes. He had a stent put in about 7.5 years ago. He is fine. Stay happy

yes

Visit your doctor without delay

Plavix dose and daily intake of this tablet?

Are u still taking Plavix. I just got a stent put in. They told me to take it for a year or so

Is your stent Still work

@@fhgg7644 yes my is its only been 1 month and a half i got it in NYC so its a good stent medical coated one

@@fhgg7644 , yes… I have two stents and one balloon, first stent was the widow maker he did, he said I had maybe a week before massive heart attack..two hours to do stent for that one..horrible pain I was in.. 99% blockage.. other 95% blockage last was a balloon, he didn’t have a stent for that one in the lower branch and it kind of feathers out.. they may be able to fix that today..my last nuclear tests revealed I have blockage everywhere..so all he can do is give me medicine..I will be 69 in a few months..I told him he gave me more time with my family..I would had not survived otherwise..each day is a gift…

And people bicker about state socialism.

experience and comfort. I'm 30 and when i was 29 i had a stent, but i feel amazing!!!!

It may have been good for you, but not for me. Had stent placement through the groin, and shortly thereafter, had severe pain in that area, and after two ultrasounds, and two additional visits to the ER, pain was finally eradicated. Had a super large hematoma and pseudoaneurysm. Pain on a level I didn't know existed, and I've suffered through 7 kidneystones in my life.

Radial access is relatively new.

I'm really glad to see this. I'm 30 and facing the possibility of having a stent put in in 2 weeks. They are doing a cath first to get a better look at the blockage. I'm nervous about it but the alternative is much worse.

The cardiologist tried radial access for me, but it was a pain in his ass. I think it was probably because the vessels in the arm and wrist are smaller. He put the catheter in through my femoral artery very quickly and was able to get it to the area affected around my heart seemingly immediately. Although radial may be better when things are good, most of us having a catheter put into us do not have arteries in ideal condition.

czar14617 thanks o lot . I'm better informed now .

So, it's now time to start losing the weight without starting up the smoking. After bypass surgery my responsibility to myself seems very clear. If they say lose weight, I have to lose weight. If I'm told to stop eating certain foods, I have to stop. Think about it: is there anyone else out there who has more reason to do the things to make you live longer than you yourself has? Do you want to have more surgeries or procedures? Do you want to live or die? If you won't do the right things to live a longer and healthier life, is there somebody who is going to do them for you? When you want to have your cake and eat it too, who are you fooling except yourself?

Sir how ru now

very good question

Experienced the pain

I'm having that same problem

Has the pain gone away? I still have some chest discomfort too.

Better than the groin.. had it done there three times in three weeks..horrible..kathy

self-discipline.

Simple take cholesterol level very very low almost no cholesterol and triglyceride. Control bp level and sugar level Stop smoking alcohol etc Avoid stressful life Regular exercise .

Stop eating all animal products and eat only whole food plant based diet.

How is your mother doing

Hi sorry to hear about your mom. I’m wondering, is she feeling better.

How are you doing today

You should check the latest research on salt

Yes be positive! Thank the lord! Be motivated! And change your lifestyle. Watch what you eat. No smoking! Research on go diets. Take the medication the doctors want you to take......maybe in time you can reduce your medication. My heart attack happened this Thanksgiving 2019. So not much experience. But must be positive and ask God to help you heal👍

Thanx....

In watching many videos on stents i realize how intelligent and informed my cardiologist was, demanding 30 day bed rest with no lifting. My artery was 98% blocked.

How r u now?

@@manishdhumal2590 ok sir heart is too weak

@@noorbhatia did u went for checkup?

@@manishdhumal2590 No sir Due to corona virus

My doctor name is dr Jagmohan varma fortis hospital very intelligent doctor who save my life

bull, life provides no guarantees, brother. Kickbacks? You are just another conspiracy nut. You still think as you do after listening to this very informative lecture, and reading the comments from the people that have had stent placement and have reported no trouble with them.....and yet......a lifetime of medications? If it helps keep me alive, you bet, bring 'em on. After reading your very misguided comments, it's painfully obvious that you have RUN OUT of yr meds....

Chuck W, you appear to be thinking this through carefully, so why are you trying to find out how long you can smoke? Stop smoking right now. Are you looking for advice telling you to continue smoking? Are you crazy? Nobody else cares about you. Outside of specific medical procedures and drugs prescribed for you, you are the only one who has a vested interest in saving your life. Ask yourself the same questions. When should I quit smoking? Do I want to continue to live? Does each cigarette make the possibility of instant death right now more likely? You said yourself that 2% is still a lot (at least in stent thrombosis). I'll tell you this: post cigarette incidence of stroke or heart attack is much higher than the things you're worried about. Smoking is never okay for a heart patient. We are worried about red blood cells carrying enough oxygen through blockages in the arteries leading to your heart and you want to know how long you may safely smoke? If you write it again, I may start insulting you because although you seem thoughtful and concerned, you seem obtuse regarding smoking. Do a youtube search about how cigarettes negatively affect the circulatory system.

There are many other blood thinners.

MrCook Show wich are they, please.

Because over time the crap in your arteries calcifies - it becomes like a rock and it is often blocking 50-100% of an artery. No medication ever gets rid of that blockage; nothing even gets rid of part of it. The condition will never get better without intervention. Medications are to rid the body of all the crap moving around in the blood that eventually adds itself to these blockages. So, meds and exercise, etc., can prevent the blockages from beginning or stop or slow them from getting bigger, but the blockage will either be there forever, break apart haphazardly and cause a stroke or keep getting bigger and cause a heart attack.

I’m still on statins… and low dose aspirin since 2004.. my statin, prevastain…I’m now on another on top of that.. my total cholesterol went from 92 too 33 in two weeks..I have heart failure so I’m on another medicine to open my arteries and increase oxygen and blood flow.. my pressure dropped too low so had to cut way back on my metoprolol ..

Who told you that? Nothing changed at all you ignorant brainless idjit.

Not a fan of pharma drugs, but aspirin is non pharma. Much data showing it's safe. Wouldn't trust statins though.

It is still relevant

I was just put on satins and aspirin this week,2024,by a very good cardiologist. Your information is criminal!!
