Just 5 days ago I went through a heart attack. At 47... Thank science for the stent, it saved my life!
Do you know the cause of it
It's pretty hard to narrow it down to a specific cause, but I definitely ticked all the boxes: smoker, high cholesterol intake, sedentary and a family history that includes strokes for my mother and her mother.
@@whereisvanuatu God bless , hope you are fine and better now
@@loyscgodlike, thank you for the kind words!

Today's been 1 week of having 2 Stent placed in my arteries.
I Feel better ,looking forward to the next chapter now.
Cheers to the Doctors Researcher's ,technicians, nurses and recipients. And Cheers to humanity
My dad recently had a heart attack, while my mother was out on a trip. It made me panic, ever since I’ve been researching and sending my dad videos, and since he got the stent, surprisingly to me he is good as new with his stents! I’m so happy he is okay. I hope that he will be okay. I don’t want him to die.
I have 2 stents after a heart attack a few years ago (I was 70), and it's been a stellar success.Exercise is a big factor, and I raise a sweat a few times every day.
I was told when I was getting my last four stents, making eight in total, that I was entitled to a bypass operation because I now had eight stents. I was never informed of this before they fitted the stents but during the procedure. I never had a follow-up appointment to see how I was doing. The National Health Service in England is in chaos. I have been waiting four years to have both my shoulders replaced.
@@bert1450 UP THE REDS.
@@SloopyDog Entitled, that seems wrong..
@@dougfox9649 I was having my second four stents put in and the doctor who was fitting the stents told me that I actually was entitled to a heart bypass. If that was the case I wonder why I was not given a heart bypass. I was never told the reason.
To all the people that have this, kudos to you. Mad respect.
I had my first 3 stents today. This is really a second chance for me and your presentation perfected it
How are you now ?
This was an excellent presentation. It was very informative and easy to understand. As an owner of 2 new stents, it is also encouraging.
*🇮🇳💟 Very informative video. 2 stents placed in 2016. Since then sensible eating, exercises and positive mental attitude keeps me going. I am 72 and by God's grace keeping well, not on medication.! 👍✝️*
Im 38 and having a heart catheter next week. Im nervous its going to be bad. I eat well and lift weight 5 plus days week.
Thanks a lot dear Brothers for all the encouraging replies n your God gifted experience, it help us, today we had layed to rest one of our friend who was sick for sometimes, it was said he had a 'fatty liver' n he was to under go medical CAG, actually we didn't know much of it, unfortunately after reaching home, after a couple of days, he complaint about severe pain in his heart n collapse n he died, it's so pathetic here in NE-India, he was a young man of 37yrs, I think we don't have such medical- experts and encouraging Doctors in NE-India, specially in Shillong and Guwahati, it's so pathetic, since our Union Govt. made such loud announces of hipper medical facilities, we lost lot of our dear relatives and friends; God help us!
@@jeffewing6660 How did it go??? I had a MASSIVE heart attack despite clean diet, no smoking or drinking, weight training for 40 years, in ripped shape, etc. SHOCKING & DEVASTATING!!!! I died on the table when they began a quadruple bypass so they aborted the procedure & implanted 5 stents. I later went back for an additional blockage. The epitome of great health to the world collapsing around me out of the blue. I’m taking a boatload of meds to prevent any future problems. I’m very interested to know how your procedure went & what the outcome at such a young age! Turns out I did a 23 & Me & found out that my real biological dad & his whole family had serious ♡ issues. Genes play a GIGANTIC part. Would love to hear how your cardiac catheterization went! Best wishes - 🏋️♂️
@@parkzed3855 it went great. They found no blockages at all. The stress test showed obstructions blocking blood flow, but they didn't find anything. I dont get pain very often and the skipping beats has virtually stopped. They said my ejection fraction was low, like 40 percent. Which could lead to heart failure. He said they will keep an eye on it and they adjusted my blood pressure meds. He mentioned medication for it if and when he feels its necessary. I feel good. I honestly feel like God intervened somehow. Thanks for asking and sharing your story. I hope things are ok for you. I also was told that heart disease runs in our family. I don't know any of my family so I cant confirm this.
@@jeffewing6660 get checked every 3 months! I hope he is aggressive enough with the meds to be proactive instead of reactive. Are you in a big city?
I tried to find comments from the people who disliked this video, as I genuinely don't understand what there's to dislike?
Thanks for this incredibly informative and precise video Austin Diagnostic Clinic! Fantastic.
They are idiots who are scared of surgery and hide behind flawed arguments against such procedures.
Thanks for your free programme and advice
I ve watched hundreds videos about heart stenting. This one is the best. I enjoyed every second

Excellent presentation, thank you so much. It answered all my questions about the procedure. 👍👍
My mom went through a heart attack and I thanks to the science for saving my mom life
I’ve always wondered about what actually was a stent and it’s full usefulness ... This video and presentations being shown and explained by a good friendly presenter was perfect! Thanks to All for making and posting...and stay healthy!! ❤️👍🏴👍
Well presented and explained. Thankyou.
Wonderful services for medical students and doctors
This is the best video to learn about stents
Excellent video I did understand a lot of things and the most important to not stop the medication after the placement of the stent! Thank you for your information I will keep advising my father about it
Thanks for the great video! Very informative and well presented!
Amazing video! Just had double stent surgery 4 days ago with another procedure coming up. I'm now hyper aware of what I need to do to keep chugging along. Thanks for this video, explanation was fantastic!
i can only say thank u so much sir, for great explaination with patience
Excellent explanation and presentation!
Thank you for helping me understand my stent. Much appreciated. You answered some questions my Dr did not.
Done Stent last Tuesday.
Feeling better now ❤💙💜
Thanks God 🙏🙏
Thanks to everyone that shared on this forum. I'm 43 and have had 7 stents put in this year; one in February and 6 in June. Since then I've checked myself back into the hospital at least 5 times; reasons was due to chest pain which consisted of; potassium level dropped to low because of "hydrochloride", muscle spasms due to "Atorvastatin" which can leave body numb/heart pain, and also heart pain from jogging to hard. The first year will be trial in error to see which medications work and don't work well with your body which will give you anxiety and even depression sometimes but if you have a strong will to live you will overcome these small road blocks. Hopefully my journey with stents can help someone else's be a little more manageable. "Iron Sharpens Iron"
I have also been re admitted several times both for angina and extreme light headedness which they believe is due to medication, my meds have been changed 4 times but the light headedness persists, very frustrating when it limits your response to “normal “daily activities by having to repeatedly lay down and wait for the dizziness to ease, unfortunately this happens several times a day! 😒
I had 4 stents put in during 3 procedures. But the doctors here in Japan are much more conservative. I had the first one placed and then was kept in the hospital for about a week. A second stent was then placed, followed by another week of monitoring in the hospital. A third procedure was then done and I was continued to be kept in the hospital. After about another week I was finally released. I was in the hospital for almost a full month. I have the standard insurance provided by the Japanese government and my total cost was less than $2,000 for all the procedures, drugs,band in-patient care.
Out of curiosity, how much did your procedure cost?

Excellent guided video 👌
I was stentet some 6 years ago. I am also diabetic type 2. I used medicines regularly and feeling better than past.
Good information, nice presentation. Thank you
I just had a stent put in a few hours ago. Thankfully, I did not have a heart attack, just got light headed and my watch said I was in afib. Three weeks ago I had a routine calcium scan and the doc scheduled me for a stress test, but this happened before I could have it. I understand what just happened after seeing this video. Great video.
how old are my mom just it done at 89 how long to get back 100 %

Very well done! Thanks
Very well explained My stent is in the brain for aneursym and my mom has hers in her hearth
Again you explained it very well.i hope to hear more from you
Thankyou for a great explanation 👍🏻
Very informative and good video thank you sir.
I had a stent installed about 6 years ago and I have an appointment with the heart doctor every six months and a stress test every 5 years. I take Plavix ( generic ) a full strength aspirin and a few others. My cholesterol stays in the 70's or 80's and my blood pressure is good. I take my blood pressure twice a day and write down the readings so I can give them to my heart doctor every 6 months and he says every thing looks good and at the rate I'm going I won't ever need another stent. He also said that after my surgery there would be no dietary restrictions, not even salt. I do have type 2 diabetes so I am on the usual dietary restrictions for diabetes.
Just because your Dr. said "no dietary restrictions" do you think thats a good idea?..... what in the world do you think got you into (at least partially) that position in the first place?.... not only the heart issue, but also the diabetes, anyone with diabetes is at a greatly increased risk for heart issues.
Mike Sloan There are genetic conditions such as familial hypercholesterolaemia which is a condition in which the body produces to much of the LDL cholesterol (the bad stuff). We don’t know the medical history of the OP other than what they already stated. Given they are a T2DM, they probably already take statins to help lower cholesterol. Also, they probably do eat a fairly healthy diet and take regular exercise. Basically what I’m saying is; rather than jump to the conclusion that this person has made bad dietary choices and as a result, now has T2DM and heart disease, maybe think “I don’t actually know anything about this person. So I’m not going to say anything”
@@JackSinclairRN true, I know nothing about this person, however...the vast majority of type 2 diabetes sufferers in the US anyway have arrived there due to bad choices....... I wasn't criticizing, just trying to give a little advice.... a Dr. telling a heart patient there wont be ANY dietary restrictions is completely ludicrous, which is part of the problem, the Dr's.... they or most of them know little to nothing about nutrition and how it can evoke disease, they just know how to write scripts to attack symptomology and never even give advice to attack the root causes.... the vast majority of these issues are rooted from lifestyle choices, so, if none of that applies to him, he can ignore it, however, maybe it will be advice to prompt someone else (and they know who they are) to take corrective action.
How much that cost u
First Name it’s free on the nhs 😁
I just had a LAD widowmaker on 01 March 22 so I really appreciate this information.
However, I've gotta ask...starting at timestamp 08:38, did the cameraman start having a heart attack too, was he drunk, or did he hand the camera to the actor because I was getting seasick with all the artistic wobbling camera movements!
My widowmaker started at 10 P.M. so my wife drove me to the ER with only about 2 minutes to spare.
I literally owe my life to the amazing medical staff at Mt. Timpanogos Hospital in Orem, UT!
Once I walked into the ER, I was in the cath lab within what had to be 10-12 minutes! The cardiologist looked at my EKG then yelled, "GO!" and two burly staffers were rushing my bed through the hallway to the OR & 45 minutes later I was in ICU.
I'm so profoundly grateful for the advancements in modern medicine; but above all, I'm grateful to a loving Heavenly Father for saving my life &, blessing me with a powerful, level-headed wife who drove like a bat outta... to get me to the hospital & save my life.
You described what I went through with exception a friend drove me to med Express what I was placed in emergency vehicle directly to er excellent results PTL
Thank you, very informative video.
Thank you Sir.
Thank you so much for this very nice explanation.
I just got a stent 5 months ago. I'm trying to exercise and a healthy diet. I take my meds on time daily and I'm thankful for this. Thank you wish you well as well.
Any noticeable improvement after stent was inserted ?
Yamile, did the same almost the same time. Do you drink alcohol after that or it is dangerous?
Hello yamile
How old are you?
Thanks
How are you feeling since?
I feel great. Thank u.
As a man with a stent I was scared to death ☠️ until I saw programs like this. Thank you. I have a stent in my rt coronary artery and may need 2 more in my LAD...so I must be careful.
good explain and nice graphics thankyou sir
Very informative.
Thank you for sharing for creating this Video and I better understand about the heart, Acute Coronary Syndrome(ACS), Coronary Angiogram and the Stent. God bless you
Outstanding Presentation... I've got 2 of these things, so I need to follow the rules a little more carefully. I guess my liquor store will do okay without me. I'm 77 & certainly not through with the many things I do... Thanks for all the info....
Very useful video for me, as I got a stent on 9/2/2011
Thanks for the information, just had mine a day ago. Still don’t know how to take care of it. Thanks to this video
Thank you for this video
I have 2 stents 18 months ago and thought I knew everything, but learned a couple of things here. But there should be a follow up to this video. Thanks anyway,
@@Sha95 The small amount of recovery has taken a long time and most of that is down to understanding what is happening to me. I am an engineer and understanding is crucial. 80% is in the mind.
Thank you very helpful my husband will be getting a stent soon
Great video and great information

Thank you for information to taking better care of my heart
Sir,very good knowledge thanks Doctor
Very interesting thanks John.
Excellent explain sir
Great Video Thank you

Good video for information
Thank you very much sir
Great video
Thank you Sir Thanks for your information
Thank you Sir for the Presentation which can be understood by all. 7 weeks back I had Coronary Angiogram thru right radial approach which revealed Double Vessel Coronary Artery Disease. Next day underwent successful PTCA with stent to OM1 & LED. Below are the brief details
Lesion 1:
Vessel OM1
Location is Proximal and Type is C
Severity 70%
Lesion 2:
Vessel LED
Location is Ostio-Proximal and Type is C
Severity 99%
They have used Xience Alpine Stent.
Before the procedure, I used to take Telmisartan 20 mg once a day (Hypertensive since 20 years) and Metformin 500 mg twice a day (since 6 years) and Ecospirin since 6 years (combination of Atorvastatin (10mg) + Aspirin (75mg) .
For initial 5 weeks after PTCA, along with the Blood thinners(Ticagrelor 90mg) and Statin(Rosuvastatin 40mg), I used to take Telmisartan 20mg, Metforming 500mg twice a day and plain Aspirin 75mg once a day.
5 weeks after the PTCA procedure my blood pressure has dropped to 80/60 and the Doctor has advised me to stop Telmisartan 20 mg and reduced the Rosuvastatin from 40 to 10mg and has asked me to come back after 3 months.
My question is why the drop in blood pressure for which I used to take medication for 20 long Years! Please advise.
Something happened to me. My BP always good and after the stents every morning when I get up 85/56, I get fatigue. My cardiologist still keeps me on two BP lowering medications. One day I stopped taking them for a week and it was the same low. So, if I take the blood pressure medication or not my blood pressure is still low upon getting up for 1-2 hours.

I have not had a stent placed in my heart, I honestly just watched the video to learn more about heart health and what happens when a stent is placed in the heart. This video was very helpful and now I know some tips on how to make sure I keep a good heart health.
Control to much intake
Avoid fats
Take veggies and fruits
8-10 glasses of water
Exercise , but not to much
At least 8 hrs sleep at night
Have a spirit of peace to lessen stressfull life
.
God made you wonderful and you can maintain it ...... to have wonderful life!
Thanks, it was useful info about Stent, I didn't follow mentioned info that's why I got again artery blockage ,
Amazing. Thanks
I was undergone ANGIOPLASTY AND STENTING DONE on 11-07-2018 t Fortis Hospital , Vashi by Dr, G.R.Kane advised by BARC hospital. After watching I have confident about my operational Technics. Thank you very very much.
Hi how ru now
Wat is ur age sir
Idid mine this year January and am just normal
I'm 54 year old. Just got discharged from the hospital yesterday after having two stents placed on clogged two major arteries (Widowmaker LAD). Thanks to a persistent doctor at Duke Regional Hospital (Dr Mike) who encouraged me to go for cardiac cath. My symptoms were just a dull chest pain and cold sweats after working on my yard. No family history of heart disease, I don't smoke and I exercise. Initial troponin was normal, Chest X-ray and Echo were normal, EKG was normal. I wanted to go home though I was still having mild chest discomfort but I was advised to stay when the succeeding Troponin levels were high. The doctor said, "If I don't see anything when we do the PCI, I will discharge you but if I see something, you'll stay". True enough, he found out the deadly blockage that would have caused grief to my wife. It's a wake up call and start of a new lifestyle.
Just yesterday i put one stent in my chest. God bless us all.
VERY GOOD THANK YOU
Well done 👍
Thank for that
Very well said thanku
thanks
Thank you Doct. Very clear and meaningful presentation. Well done. One think which was not mentioned as ways to handle after stent is alcohol consumption. Is it safe?
I was told alcohol will overide the accuracy of the medication. Alcohol also thins the blood and with already taking blood thinners pills after stent placement is not a great combination in the midst of an open cut or broken bone.
I got a stent in recently , I am in my 60s a lifelong non drinker non smoker , sporty , slim with a normal cholesterol count , who also eats healthily .
But that did not stop the plaque build up , and although I have walked away with no lifestyle changes required , (just a lifetime of medication ) I had , had a series of checks in my mid 50s that revealed nothing , and sadly no interventions were made.
Maybe GP doctors should be intervening when their patients simply get to risky ages irrespective if they ‘appear’ healthy , a daily low dose (doctor prescribed ) aspirin may have saved me getting a stent at all, and all at negligible over the counter cost that would have saved thousands on health professionals having to do that procedure on me , and many more thousands saved on my medication for ( hopefully) decades to come .
Me too, non smoker, non drinker, I was 52. Not to go down that rabbit 🐇 🕳️. I wonder if the vaccine 💉 had anything to do with my blockage and heart attack.
Thank you for the nice video.
My husband has a stent ..the procedure done last april 2020 in saudi arabia after 5 mos he was terminated from work..hes suffering from chest pain and he has pleural effusion .hes admitted to the hospital..the pleural effusion was treated but after that he suffered severe chest pain his whole body was cold and now hes relying on oxygen
