Lyme disease - chronic persistent
Stent and plasty. Thursday he had a massive heart attack in the right bottom portion of heart. Today they performed angiosplasty, the artery they fixed in april was 90% clogged. another artery is completely clogged and remains clogged. In the past his cholesterol was high about 300. They gave him lipitore(?) and it has been down to 110 for the past 3 weeks. He has always eaten right, he excersises daily, walks 3 miles a day and is thin. I'm not sure how many more trips to the cath lab he can take. Is there something we're missing, is there a more effective proceedure. With this last heart attack his heart was damaged (the first one didn't). What could be causing the arteries to clogg so quickly and completely????? I would appreciate any information you can give us, we're pretty worn out.
