angiogram recovery

My partner is having an angiogram after suffering chest pains a few weeks ago. NAD was found at the time from blood tests and ECG (done over 18 hours). Was kept in overnight. Had no discomfort since, but suffers from type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol which are all controlled and low due to medication. His chest pains were 4 weeks ago and he's had nothing since.

I am 5 weeks post-op for a Jan. 27th vitrectomy to remove a macular pucker. My vision is much worse than ever, can't see the big "E" on the eye chart, and have a gray, opaque area in the center of my operated eye when I cover the other one. I did notice the gray area prior to the vitrectomy, after cataract removal on Nov. 11th. I can see no noticeable improvement in my vision during the 5 weeks, and it is really scaring me that the vision is so much worse..

Now Doctor has prescribed for Angiogram. He said he can suggest for treatment only after seeing the angiogram reports. Please help with your suggestion that whether we should go for angiogram. He is a diabetic patient since last 15 years and having high Blood pressure complaint since last 5 years.

She is currently in the hospital with more blockages. They are performing the angiogram now. She is 73 yrs old and still pretty spunky. My question is, will she need surgery again? And if so, what are the odds of the surgery being successful and making a full recovery?

A question like this is so very good at starting a debate and a discussion which brings out the personal preferences in people. My personal opinion is that angiograms are great for treating emergencies and opening larger arteries which are occluded. However, there is a large proportion of people who still seem to suffer angina after having PCI treatment and this isn't a short term thing for recovery.

I had a history of respiratory infection, conjunctivitus, colds, etc in the months leading up to this. I had an angiogram because of positive triponin, and that showed a reduced EF of approx 40%. I was released a few days later and was told to rest and resume activity slowly, however I am still so tired all the time and I have persistent chest pain if i do too much of anything. My doctor told me that it should be getting better.

I had an angiogram on 12/27/12. Since having my leg is hurting in the thigh area and in the groan area. Put ice on groan area and heating pad on thigh. Called hospital where procedure was done, said this is normal. When I walk I am limping. Really painful. IS THIS NORMAL. this is my first angiogram. Worried about clotting in the leg.

I usually go to a cardiologist in another city. But my cardiologist could not perform my scheduled angiogram. My symptoms before this angiogram were chest pain with exertion of any kind. After this angiogram, I have had blood pressure problems, breathing problems, dry cough, shortness of breath and all the other symptoms that my cardiologist wanted me to do an angiogram for. He had said that if I needed an other stent put in. I would need a bypass even though I have small vessels.

They then plan to do the angiogram 4 days later tentivly. its after the angiogram we talk surgery right. and one more thing. I have been experiencing painbehind and on my eyes and sometimes my vision just dims...like sombody is dimming the lights. is this normal.

Hey All, I have had a quad bypass 6mths ago,as most know recovery is slow and i do not help it by trying to speed things up.After 4 mths i had chest pain and abdominal bloating and pain,hard to swallow and breathe,could not get a deep breathe(yawn if i could).Have had more tests than i like and guesses.Pain was so bad i went to ER and was given antibiotics for diverticulitus for a week to see if it helped.No change.

she failed the stress test and was referred for angiogram the same day. She had multiple blockages at 90%, and was admitted to the hospital. She stayed in the hospital for 4 days, due to the doctors where afraid to release her home. She had a double bypass (left descending coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery). She healed well, but 2 weeks ago while at home she experienced chest pain. She went by ambulance to the hospital.

27 and there was no evidence of coronary artery disease on the angiogram. I was told I had a heart spasm. How much above normal was my troponin level and where would the .27 level be in relation to a mild, moderate, and massive heart attack?

Has anybody out there had any side effects or complications from the angiogram test, the cardiac catherization? Please let me know if you have had any.

As I said in my previous posts, the LVEF valuues have varied over the years and with echo, stress cath and CT angiogram from 20-43% CT angiogram last week gave 43%. One thing I find on my reports over the last eight years is hypokinesis of LV. My cardiologist thinks EF is reasonably OK but the LAD does need fixing. She thinks DES should work this time around.

I'm not a doc. Anyways, yes sinus tach can get north of 190 actually, into the 200s. Sinus tach is a completely normal response to exercise. They had a 12 lead EKG on you, they know what they saw. Don't second guess. Afib and Aflutter have enough classic hallmarks in an EKG to tell when they occur. If the tachycardia were of anything other than a nornal sinus rhythm they would have seen it. Everything is pointing towards angina.

Is it really necessary for me to have an angiogram after finding out I have small aneurism in my head? The aneurism is 3 mm, I am a healthy 37 year old female. Should I get a second opinion? It really seems unnecessary for me to have a cath and camera into my brain for an aneurism they say is small and not to worry about it???

I had too stent in april 2011 and had pain while having stents told Dr just give morphen and still pain and morphen told not to move , I black out when going into recovery , I asked the Dr Re: this told me nonthing in the notes and was not their . What a joke, and and 9 months later still have the same problems chronic chest pains had all the tests nothing show in hospital every other week , told not to come back other words get on with it same with my G.

I have just been scheduled for an angiogram and I'm scared to no end I have a 3 year old son I love to death same as my soon to be wife. I'm so scared something will go wrong during the surgery how coming are complications? Also my ej is 73 is this bad?

You better check with your doctors, I am not sure about the potential damage due to the radiation dose that you will take during the procedure. Also if they discover blockages in your coronaries, I do not know about the risk of the medication that you will need.

After a cardigraph treadmill test I'm being referred for angiogram - I'm going on holiday in two weeks with a 3 hour flight. Should I travel?

I had an Angiogram done in 01/2007. i have familial-cholestorol (latest lipo showed total of 6,9 fasting) During the Angio they only found coronary artery spasms. no blockages found. the past 4 weeks or so I have been experiencing chest tightness and some burning pains in chest - at rest. lasting under 1 minute and dissolves by itself. I have not been taking any Cholestorol meds (medical aid depleted) for the past 7months.

my mother is suffering from chest pain now Doctor is saying to go for angiogram test?
