I had a heart attack 2 weeks ago today. A stent was placed in my "widowmaker" which was 95% blocked. I am on several of these meds. I would like to thank the staff at St. Joes in Warren Ohio and St. Elizabeths in Youngstown, Ohio. Your fast reactions saved my life. God bless you all.

Richard - Wishing you an ongoing recovery - I had mine ten years ago, lifesaver! God Bless you, - Gus.

Excellent discussion and explanation of the reasons why certain meds are prescribed following Stent placement.

Thank you Island Health for this series of videos. This info is very helpful.

Very educational video and I appreciate the medications mentioned to take after suffering a heart attack four years ago.

Three weeks post stent implant in New Mexico, USA. Wish I’d been shown this excellent video before discharge. Well done 🇨🇦

Very good information and helpful 👍

Are you overweight? Exercising? Eating healthy? Removing stress from your life? Sometimes these things can go a long way. Even further than taking a pill.

I'm at the stage where I've stopped talking medications for my stent and previous heart attack 3 years ago. I'm sick of waking up every morning just to stare at the ground. When I come good after 1 hour, the rest of the day is just struggling to do just chores. Have to have regular breaks, can't breathe at times while sweating profusely. Feeling dizzy and just feeling crap all day. Sick of it.

4 years straight. I didn't give them up, I couldn't get access to the CTG. Close The Gap. Wasn't on file and had to register again. 2 months later I gave up. Back on aspirin and nitrolingual pump.

Me too , Dr Dunn. 4 stents later I'm doing much better.

Use full information

Cholesterol is in your entire circulatory system. Why is there clogging of the ARTERIES close to the heart and not in the veins or capillaries in your nose, ear or knee? This is because the pumping of the heart can cause hairline cracks. Blood pressure is highest in this area. These hairline cracks are repaired by a sticky substance LP(a), to prevent from getting worse. Why don't animals have cardiovascular disease? Almost all animals produce large amounts of vitamin C in their liver. On average 35 mg/kg body weight. So we have to take at least about 3000 mg of vitamin C ourselves because humans cannot make vitamin C. You get strong collagen tissue, strong connective tissue, strong arteries. Hairline cracks no longer form and arterial plaque is removed and burned in the liver. Repair with cholesterol is therefore a consequence of a deficiency of vitamin C. So do not take statins, but vitamin C in a high dose: at least 3 grams, better: 6 to 10 grams Source: Cardiovascular disease and vitamin C (Dr. Rath Foundation)

Interesting, blood thinners and aspirin for only 3 months after a stent procedure. Did you come off the meds on your own or with doctor orders?

Does this advice only pertain to stemis?

Have any studies been done to prove that these medications do what they say they do ---Viox? Where can I find these studies

@TiredEmpath

There are studies showing that statins aren’t nearly as effective as we’re led to believe. I refused statins after my stent in my LAD last year. Need to look at Absolute vs Relative risk and Number Needed to Treat (NNT). Be fully informed because we are afraid after a heart event and will do anything we’re told. I did take Dual Antiplatelet Therapy and 1 beta blocker. Currently tapering off slowly.

One of the most boring videos ever. But i must say what i like a lot is the straight to the info point of view. Very good. Hope you get more views over time. Keep pushing your channel!
