(cross country) If you like an evening tipple i seriously recommend to take it with...

    Myocardial Infarction?

    I´ve had 2 through the wrist, my next will be the groin. Stents put in both times. I don´t take this lightly, it could have been a lot worse. Epidemic? No. My reaction to the amount of treatments done every year was because before this i had no idea. Speaking to others it´s a lot more common...

    Myocardial Infarction?

    It´s a bit more than just an x-ray. I think it illustrates a problem that was otherwise not seen. Advances in technology and practices make it easier to find and eventually treat. It´s pretty amazing what they can do. It´ll be fixed soon enough. Hopefully in time to enjoy the winter. :)

    Myocardial Infarction?

    Absolutely! I live in an area with reasonably low population. At my county hospital they do about 3000 angiograms a year. Recently a documentary from Newcastle i think, showed they do 70,000 a year! Really illustrates how big a problem it is. Don´t take a chance. :)

    Myocardial Infarction?

    My right is blocked. Apparently smaller tributary arteries form, supplying limited oxygen to that part of the heart. The left would have been more serious. Two others were up at 75% and these are now stented. They tried to unblock the right last time but it was hard. Next going in through the...

    Myocardial Infarction?

    Luckily never got that far. Recently had 2 x angis and 3 stents. Waiting for my next appointment for a totally blocked artery to be hopefully unblocked. Had to miss being out in the autumn. But next Autumn..... Being unable to get out has only made me more determined to do it when i´m better.
