Terry's Catheter Angiogram - Second Installment on "This Video can Save Your Life". Getting a Catheter Angiogram is the only way to know definitively if your Chest Pains are pushing you towards a Heart Attack. Getting Stents or By-Pass Surgery BEFORE a Heart Attack is Critical !!! Blockages in the Arteries causes Heart Attacks and blockages at the top of the heart are can kill most of the Heart Muscle if 100% blockage occurs. If you have a Heart Attack; at best you will have a slow recovery, be handicapped for life, or die. If you feel chest pains - get a Cardio MRI (part 1) and a Catheter Angiogram. If during the Catheter Angiogram they find a blockage that is 75% or better they can Stent it Open and you can avoid the Heart Attack. Do not wait get your Heart Pain check by a Doctor.

  • You got to like your Oatmeal - I have it twice a day sometimes, no sugar! I also got a pressure cooker to cook beans I make a pot of black or red bean and freeze them in small pack for the microwave use later and eat a bowl beans with some salsa - just in case I get a carb attack I am losing weight and a little gassy but the Dog don't mind. Keep healthy Warm Regards Terry

  • you are welcome Sir, It should be a breeze / the Japanese doctors wanted me to wait before taking an anxiety injection / I held out for 15 min and they asked me again and I said yes, after the injection I was carefree - so if they offer you the happy-drug take it and be carefree. Warm Regards Terry PS on my second angiogram I told them just to shoot me now.

  • Oh I am glad for you that you caught it in time.  Keep to your course of blood thinners and aspirin and whatever your cardiologist recommends. It will make you tired and bruise easier but it will prevent blood clotting around your stents. Do no exercise for at least two weeks and work you way up to cardio - don't push yourself. Eat on time never be hungry and drink lots of water to protect your liver and kidneys from the meds. I have other Videos private post. CinemaXJapan.

  • Stenting will make it wider but platelets love to collect around the edges. So blood thinners are being use 1/10 chance of Re-Stentosis or ByPass. I've to do a follow-up Catheter Exam to determine if the restenting or by-pass is necessary // Sept 17th if the two arteries are still clear / a third one will be stented. Take care Eat Oatmeal in the morning / and lots of beans for fiber. Warm Regards Terry

  • @Randidan Thanks for the comment Randidan! I had the Cath test and all is well, thank goodness! No blockage or sign of heart disease. Turns out the stress test showed a false positive and had my Dr. worried for no reason! Better safe than sorry, right? :)

  • @barisax7411 ...after checking out info on the subject from cleveland here on the web, I think you've got a very good lace to have it done! Good Luck! (How did it go???)

  • thanx, Terry! I'm 75 [ almost 76] and having "my first" angio next Monday. To me it seems like a totally creepy, dangerous procedure -- but your video and audio make it clear that there is much less to worry about than I had thought. There is apparently some question as to whether the surgeon will place a stent then, or wait until later... At my age, I don't want to wait -- after all, 5 or 10 years in my case means 80 or 85 years old!

  • @TzzX78

    my lad is also 60 to 70% blocked ...... can you recommend me what action should be taken ..... i feel i need a stent there ....... i got one already in my RCA ...... my lcx is 80% blocked and one stent there too .....docs feel medicines be used but i was using medicines for nearly 15 years .......i feel very good after implanting of stent in rca ..... regards

  • Thanks Terry. Im only 32 but have some suspected RCA stenosis, so my Dr is giving me an angiogram test tomorrow at the Cleveland Clinic. Im very nervous, but I know that its in my best interest. Best of luck to you!

  • Well done !!!
