    My age is 13 and I'm in class 8. I am from India. We have to make a biological project on cardiovascular diseases. In our group of 6 children representing our class, we had a meeting on the application of stent and the ACS. Thank you Uncle John for explaining so clearly and understandably. Now I can pinpoint all the equipment I need. Thanks again

      How did you know that you had heart problems, I am in my mid twenties and experience chest pains, I went to the doctor for it several years ago as this issue started about 6 years ago and they did a heart ultrasound and said there was no pathological reason found for it, but based on the limited knowledge I’ve picked up over the internet I am uncertain if a heart ultrasound is the best test to indicate a heart problem, I typically see angiograms done and I suppose they didn’t do the most advanced one because of the risk. I think there is a possibility it’s due to stress but I am unsure, so I was wondering if I should go in and have them do an angiogram. What tests did they have you take and what symptoms did you have?

    What an informative and intelligent video! I'm 61 years old, I've had months of pains in the chest whenever I exert myself (making a cup of tea does it)! I had an angiogram 4 days ago and was told I need to have a Stent fitted as an Artery is very narrow. I now am awaiting an appointment for the procedure! Watch this space...

    I just had a heart attack at 53 a week ago (26 oct 2019). I was rushed to hospital for an emergency procedure to explore and figure out which artery was clogged. Turns out it was Right Coronary Artery that was blocked 100%. The surgeon stented that and then had me moved to another facility to finish off the work once I was stable. Turns out I had 2 more arteries to be stented due to 95% and 90% blockage. I'm not a smoker, exercise regularly and don't eat an excessive amount of crap (or at least I though). Procedures are easy. The heart attack wasn't pleasant at all !!! Very scary. Medical team were absolutely brilliant. This video is great in that it's filled in gaps in my knowledge.

      Diet, exercise, lifestyle changes. Eliminate added sugars, reduce total sodium and carbohydrate intake, reduce intake of saturated fats, avoid sugary juices and naturally high sugar foods. Walk everywhere, take the stairs as much as possible (instead of the elevator), ride a bike (stationary or mobile) or use a treadmill or elliptical. If you have genetically high LDLs, and are prescribed statin, take them for now until you're able to get your lipid profile to where it should be. Afterwards, try and see if natural means of maintaining good levels of HDL and low levels of LDL and triglycerides is possible to disciplined diet and exercise. IF not, go back on the lowest effective dosage of statins to accomplish this. Take your baby aspirin faithfully. Eliminate mental stress and emotional stress and factors that raise cortisol levels. Quit 100% cold turkey any smoking (vaping or inhaled tobacco products), quit alcohol, and eliminate dairy and other foods identified as inflammatory to the vascular system. You CAN have a LONG life after angioplasty and stenting.

My understanding is that the second time they tried, the doctors used cathers (?) from pediatrics. They are going to try a third time. I pray that they can put the stents in. But what happens if they can't get the stents in? What is the next step?

    I had my heart attack on the job and didn't know it until I went to bed. What I thought was a bad case of heartburn seemed to cause my chest to explode when I laid down and tried to sleep. This was back in December 2015. By the time I got to the hospital and after checking my vitals they told me I'd had a heart attack and got there just in time. I had 99% blockage in my right coronary artery where a Stent was placed the next day. Just last year again in December 2017 I had to go back into the hospital, again more chest pains and found out I have Arrhythmia so they had to do a cautherazation (not sure if I spelled it correctly) just to make sure the Stent didn't close ( I later found it they check it every 2 years).

      Best of luck to you sir. Diet changes, regular exercise and modification of lifestyle are key. Let me stress eliminate added sugars from your diet, same for non-fiber bound carbs. Reduce total daily intake of sodium and sugar and carbs and calories. The whole 2000 calorie per day diet is NOT suitable for today's sedentary desk job, drive everywhere, relax in recliners lifestyle. Get it down to 1200-1500 calories...it'll be hard at first but your body will thank you. Walk everywhere you can, and take the stairs whenever possible.

      No. U don't have to continue taking anti clogging are blood thinning medications for life, after stenting. U have to change ur life style, eating habits and even how much to eat and when. U have to be monitoring and taking meds initially for an yr or even less.
      I was stented for lad proximal and within a week i srarted my regular jog of 2kms gradually.
      I am now 84 and was stented in 2017 nov. Dont be afraid and go into a shell. Be active n u will live longer. After consulting doctor, i dis continued most of the medicines WITHIN 6 months as i felt they were not necessary. As a matter of fact they do more harm with their side effects.

    I am 53 years old, I have got a stent one month ago.
    Now I am trying to replace the anticoagulant and statins... with something more natural.
    I am vegetarian too.
    I found something like: In the morning: 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil, 1 pill Vitamin c, 1 pill leticin, and a clove of garlic. Evening: garlic again and 50 milligrams of Cabernet red wine.
    After 2 years the cholesterol behind the stent will also disappear .
    All these ingredients are taking with food in the morning.

      FG, you may be correct. My doctor said after a stent is installed one has to take a combinations of medicines, including cheap baby aspirin + Brilinta ($569) for first 30 day supply. However, after one year, one can drop the Brilinta but still continue with the baby aspirin for life. Doctor also said if the baby aspirin is ever dropped, instant death may occur from a heart attack. (this is really what he said!) I simple said WTF! Would appreciate any logical explanation of this if anyone cares to share.
