Destroying tissue
by ed34, Aug 19, 2009 08:51AM
When I spoke with a top uk heart surgeon, he suggested that I have a procedure (cant remember the name)
that destroys signals causing angina discomforts. He said this usually results in some heart tissue being
damaged but being free from angina is the bonus.
Although I refused this procedure, I have thought about the implications many times ever since. When you
get angina, you know you are working your heart too hard. When you then start to get chest pains, you
know to stop quickly. If angina symptoms are non-existant, how on earth does one know when they are
overworking their heart, possibly damaging it? There would surely be no real signs for warning. As angina
worsens, it lets us know that something bad is progressing. With no angina, we may not realise until it is
too late. I was wondering, would anyone here rather have angina so they could keep in touch with their heart,
or lose those discomforts to live in fear?
