Each heart attack is a new area

Borrowed time

oh okay

nothing can be done then

just aspirin, clopidogrel, statins

yeah my mom is getting a stent put in today supposedly

a stent where?

she just said two arteries are clogged

at first they weren't going to do it

since they said it wasn't bad enough

stable coronary vessel disease is a different disease almost

yeah, she's never had cardiac symptoms. just a very faint murmur she's had for years and years

ekg always comes back good

that's why i asked

she's had chest wall pain since as long as i can remember but i chalk that up to smoking and coughing constantly

it's controversial to stent such a person

SEE

fuck man

unless her chest pain is definitely cardiac

it's most certainly not

then there is no proven benefit to angioplasty and stenting

this has caused significant controversy

that's what i suspected on the fucking phone to her

but she insists on having yet another procedure done

to assuage her own fears

I haven't told you my opinion

just what the mainstream position is

what's the hessian perspective

I don't think its egregious to have stenting with major vessel disease

it definitely improves pain earlier

but as stated, the pain she has is likely not cardiac in origin

you could be wrong

another doctor from another health system referred her to MRI to check her back

i think she has inflammation due to hard bouts of coughing, but this chest pain issue did not manifest until after my dad passed

i think she's having panic attacks

i could be wrong

but there seems to be haste where there ought not be

i could understand if she was admitted previously for cardiac issues

or had follow ups with a cardiologist

to monitor her situation more effectively

how was her cardiac issue diagnosed then?
