Problems of the heart

I guess this will be my next problem. I have developed heart valve and coronary artery disease.

 

I've been through almost everything but heart attacks. :head_hurts:

 

I have to go get some tests next Wed (29th). A catheter w/stents and an esophageal ultrasound with the possibility of open heart surgery. I read that stroke is possible with the insertion of stent. I read too much.

They do so many catheter w/stents now days that I'll bet the odds are extremely low for having stroke during the procedure.

 

My mom had her heart valve replaced about 15 years before she passed away from an unrelated problem and she did fantasic after the surgery. She's been gone 15 years and they've vastly improved that surgery since those days when she had it.

 

Good luck next week when you have your tests!
