Thank you for letting us know (and being a part of the CardioVascularDisease.net community). How are you managing? Have you and your doctor developed a treatment plan for you?
For those who'd like to learn more about CAD, here's an article that gives an overview of the disease and its treatment. All the best, Kathy (Team member)
How long does it take it taken care of
, thanks for your question. While you may get feedback from the community on personal experience, it’s important to note that treatments can work differently for Peripheral artery disease (PAD) may be helpful. We definitely encourage you to speak with a doctor or specialist, if you haven’t already, about your treatment-related decisions, and we commend you for reaching out to the community as well. We hope you get all the information you’re looking for! Warmly, Kathy (Team Member)
I have a leaking mitral valve. It started years ago. Then about 10 years ago it got really bad and I had open heart surgery. Dr thought he could repair it but it was so bad, he replaced it. I and Miss Piggy (so named by a grandchild). Miss Piggy is leaking and her friend, the tricuspid valve, are leaking. Not quite enough for surgery. And hopefully they never will!
I had a quadruple bypass (cabg) in 2023.i am now diagnosed with CAD.There has not been any mention of post care except exercise and call if I have symptoms. THE PROBLEM is I didn't have ANY symptoms before...I had to beg a cardiologist for further testing .They finally diagnosed blockage after 6 months of tests.More care of womens symptoms should be resolved.
Thanks for joining in on the conversation. I agree, it can be frustrating dealing with doctors sometimes, but I am glad that the tests finally showed what was wrong. I remember being diagnosed with advanced heart failure and my cardiologist didn't listen to me until I suffered a stroke. There should be studies and more information on women's symptoms as well. All the best! -Olivia Hi Samuel, got diagnosed with CAD about 6 weeks ago and had the nuclear stress test on the 18th December that was abnormal . So Tuesday 31st getting the Catheter procedure done. for what right now i am not sure as they just said there is a problem. Maybe stent or something ! I will find out soon enough i guess .Wish all members good luck for the new year.
