What type(s) of cardiovascular disease do you live with?
There are so many types of cardiovascular disease; what condition(s) brought you to our community?
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.
