Thanks for the info and positive word. That goes a long way
Yes, these are scary subjects. I think many people have "minor" heart attacks, that means, I think, that the muscle damage to the heart is very limited. I guess that's why they prescribed a nuclear stress test. That is the most effective non-intrusive (if you don't count the injection of nuclear material in your blood intrusive) way to learn if one has any blockage in the blood to the heart muscles - at least that's how I understand it. I think the nuclear stress test is more prone to false postive than false negative, that's been the case with me. I've "failed" nuclear stress tests a couple of times, but when examined with a cardio catheter I was found to have no blockage.
Be positive, you're walking around and there's nothing currently threatening. You have time to find out what/if is wrong and work on a fix.
Good luck.
The doctor has me scheduled for a nuclear stress test Wednesday. The problem is that the ER doctor suggested that i had a heart attack with my blood levels, which is scaring me.
Too technical for me, but the EF of 65% looks great, that's not the problem.
Didn't your cardiologist suggest anything, including do nothing?
