Medications after a Stent or Heart Attack
HTML-код

- If you are admitted to the hospital to receive a stent after a heart attack, or you have significant plaque buildup in your coronary arteries, there are a group of medications that are commonly prescribed to prevent future cardiac arrest. This video summarizes the most commonly ordered heart health medications.
Three weeks post stent implant in New Mexico, USA. Wish I’d been shown this excellent video before discharge. Well done 🇨🇦
Very educational video and I appreciate the medications mentioned to take after suffering a heart attack four years ago.
Thank you Island Health for this series of videos. This info is very helpful.
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.
Easy for others to just say stay strong but it’s the only way to go Chris best of luck on your recovery but I can feel your frustrations ✌🏼
I had stent in 2019. I am on meds which my doctor says I will be on for life. In my case Ace inhibitor, statin and low dose aspirin. You mention you are no longer on meds for heart stent? This may be why you are havng health challenges.
May I ask how long did you take medication for the stent before stopping them?
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.
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.
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!
RulerGukguk - having had the procedure following a heart attack, and it saving my life, was anything but boring to me. Peace.
Great information thanks 🙏🏼🇨🇦
I had a stent place in my RCA, it was 100 percent occluded... I have one at 70 percent also, no stent put in that one for some reason, wish he had, because I still hurt in my chest sometimes.. but I am on medication for that one and because of the stent..
I have a 100% clogged rad and a 60% clogged artery. I didn't get any stents
God bless cooper hospital ❤❤❤❤
Have any studies been done to prove that these medications do what they say they do ---Viox? Where can I find these studies
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.
IMPORTANT: Google "Mayo Clinic" + "Statin Calculator.'" This will calculate your RELATIVE RISK (bs) and your ANSOLUTE risk (reality). Unbiased look at statins.
Exercise diet after stent

@@gusriley9785how are you doing now?
@@mukulsharma798 Doing fine thanks Mukul, - quit smoking after coronary - big contributing factor - and tweaked my diet and overall lifestyle, - enjoying life and very grateful, - take a water based statin with no side effects, called Rovostatin (the oil based ones were pretty rough for me) and a very small dose of a beta-blocker, again, no side effects, - hope you are ok ? Peace, Gus :)
@@gusriley9785How are you now?
Still having breathing difficulty
What does bleeding in urine indicate??
Statin Wonder !
Just watch your A1c with those statins
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.
My attack was in May. Stent placed. Brilinta prescribed. I truly do thank my first responders and the subsequent hospital staff!
@@DLBlckwl I had 4 stents put in a couple of weeks ago, I'm also on Brilinta, good luck to you. 🙂
@@pjpj3416 Wow 4! In more than one artery?
How r u now?
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.
I have no heart pain only adema in my lower legs. I feel my doctor is pushing stent application. I have low BP. I don't trust my health care provider. Business seems their primary goal.
Had (2) stents put in the widow maker (2) months ago they saved my life thanks to doctor at Akron general hospital and the staff
Me too , Dr Dunn. 4 stents later I'm doing much better.
This video just confirmed that I am doing the right thing after my angioplasty procedure about a month ago❤thank you so much.
Very good information and helpful 👍
Had a stent and a triple bypass and was prescribed medication for 3 months and I am now taking nothing for 4 years now
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?
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

I am taking statins for last two years after stents, I think I should talk to doctors.
@@gshrdy5415 this is OK though.it’s 5 years for me and still taking all meds, with some reduced doses, for rest of life?
Amen .. like the C .. big pharma who I see in the doctors office, push there money products 27/7 ..

This is exactly what I'm going through right now. Thank goodness i live in the UK where healthcare is free
Not really free, someone has to pay for it.
@@worthmor5146 As a UK resident, I am more than happy to pay National Insurance and some of my taxes to the worlds best available to all health care system.
@@gusriley9785 I'm glad you are okay with paying high taxes. I just assume to pay for my own and not have to go on a list for elective surgeries or testing. I would probably be dead right now if I had to wait for my name to come up for a procedure.
@@worthmor5146 Well, I hope your health is good and you don't need expensive surgery or tests etc, - as regards high taxes as you put it, - I do understand what you mean, but they sure don't feel high if you have ever needed the health care provided 24/7 365 days a year, for any condition, - I had a major coronary 10 years ago, and over the years a couple of other serious issues, the medical bills would have run into hundreds of thousands, which I don't have, - so "high tax" is a very relative term - somebody might say it's a highly taxed nation if they enjoy perfect health, - but even healthy people die ;) and they usually get sick before they die, - the NHS is a national treasure to my mind, - once again, be well, and cheers ;)
@@gusriley9785 I grateful to be able to pay for my own insurance. I just had 4 stents put in the price was staggering. Only had to pay a small Co pay for the procedure.
Use full information
My mother passed away after stent placement, my mother got heart attack they did angiography, in angiography process my mother got another heart attack doctors did stent placement after stent placement my mother's health is very bad breathing problem hand and leg swelling belly swelling, lungs infection, doctors said my mother condition is not good ventilator and dylasis is the last option after one day my mother passed away 😢
I thought des stents replaced bare metel stents 16yr ago
Yes.
Does this advice only pertain to stemis?
Repatha is definitely the way to go rather than Crestor/lipitor which destroy your kidneys eventually. I've been on Rapatha for over half a year and within 1 1/2 month from the time I started taking (shots) it, my ldl dropped all the way down to 38, and now it's stable at 35..
