He mentioned the research on using radioactive materials, but was not involved with this project. I am also seeing a specialist in cholesterol control who has me on 1500 mg of niacin to control my LPA cholesterol levels. He has also recommended to minimize restenosis that I eliminate as much stress as possible in the next 3 months and limit the intensity of my cardiac rehab. No, spasm does not contribute to restenosis. I hope you find this information useful.
