doofuss asked:


She had one four years ago, and quit smoking.

Her cholesterol was 140 when she had the attack last week.HDL was above the acceptable range, and LDL was well below. It’s been at those levels for more than four years.

The doctor put three stents in her atreries 4 years ago. One of them was blocked, so he put another one in last week and said she’ll be fine.

What caused that stent to be blocked?

More important, what must she do to prevent another heart attack?

   The proper questions when you were going to askseemed so trivial and the proper questions you walk through the appointment because as quickly as quickly as quickly as you well know when you were going to ask.
   For other peoples possible good luck.
   For other peoples possible dealings with second heart attack perhaps their opinion will help you well.

   Restenosis caused the blockage. She needs to stay on her Plavix and aspirin routine.
   I’ve had 5 heart attacks, 7 stents with 3 angioplasties and one implanted ICD.

   Educate yourself about her condition.
