I have coronary heart disease with spastic arteries. The last few months, I had been having shortness of breath again, squeezing of my left arm, and chest discomfort then underwent a echo stress test which showed a new blockage in new place which surprised my heart doctor. One of my brothers had open heart at CC last summer.
Heart disease runs in the family.
Any advise you can give, would be appreciated. I was trying to hold out until they perfected the new couple of holes method. Three of my smaller blockages are in a Y in the left descending coronary artery. Thanks for your time. Dear Patti With symptoms and an abnormal stress test, most doctors would advise a repeat heart catheterization.
