I had the Heart Catheterization in
...
[More] January.....same as in '05 - except now I have an ulceration.
Had a recent Viability Study - 3/4/09 - my second one. My first one in '05 was fine. This latest one - not so favorable for CABG...........
I do now go from talking with my PCP - to a Thoracic Surgeon in Portland, Maine
At this jesture........I have CHF since '03 with 15% EF......and I don't seem to be a candidate for any Open Heart..........and based on Viability Study - CABG........
I'm getting next the Surgeon's opinion.
You must know - that I have taken myself out of consideration for enrollment into a Heart Transplant program. Personal reasons.
Can I be kept alive somehow either in Boston or Cleveland?
