Mom going for heart catheterization

[53' Stude]

Gentlemen, please keep my mother in your hearts, thought and prayers tonight. She goes for heart catheterization tomorrow. Far as I know she is healthy; has low blood psi at times and sometimes low iron count. May god bless you all and thank you kindly. Mom is 72 also.

Will do.
That is not a bad procedure especially through the wrist even if she gets stents. You are in my prayers. Wishing her the best.

I will be praying for your Mom.

I almost lost mine last year, too. She is still frail.

If this helps, Heart Catheterization is a good thing, it is the GOLD STANDARD to have her arteries checked for blockages. There is no better method and a stress test pales in comparison. At least she and your family will have a clear idea what you are dealing with. The procedure itself is a piece of cake, she will be given a mild sedative and will be awake for the procedure, she will not feel a thing, its kind of neat actually but chances are she wont remember most of it.
If they find a blockage, they, in most cases can take care of it right there and then by inserting a stent or stents, sometimes without a stint by simple compression of the blockage.

Where we can have some hopes and prayers is if there is a blockage its not so severe that she would need to go back for bypass surgery which of course is far more risky. But as far as the procedure tomorrow she will be fine.

I was lucky enough to have one back at the start of 2021 after a stress test there was some question whether to proceed with the Catheterization and they left it up to me for the most part. I jumped on the chance to get it, its truly the only way to know the condition of your heart arteries and prevent or deal with any problems.
I was lucky enough to have minimal plaqueing and no further intervention needed but it gave me a BIG heads up to take my diet to the next level.
I am the only male in my family to (so far) have beat major heart disease and diabetes.

Anyway, this isnt about me, its about your mom, she will be fine through the procedure, the scary part is what they may find. Ill say a prayer that its something that can be dealt with right there and then, if so, your in great shape, future diet is important.
Good luck to her!

Prayers for your mother. I don’t know much about that procedure but hopefully it will make her do better .

 

[CleanSump]

Will do Sir.

 

[Dave Hess]

I’m hoping everything goes well.

My Wife just had her Aortic Valve replaced via a Heart Catheterization. It's amazing what they can do now. She was home the next day and today a few months later walking around our local lake. Your Mother should be just fine.

Good luck for your mom Stude. Prayers.

I've had this done 2x. Once when I was 12 and again when I was 56. It's pretty safe, especially with all the monitoring they do while the wire is inside the vein.

Will do, I had it done when I was in high school and then again when I was 18/19. I had what they first thought was SVT, but then turned into a different kind of tachycardia. They ablated a couple different things including the right bundle branch.

Great, great post in my opinion ^^^^^^^^^

Excellent post, I forgot about the other things that can now be done with Heart Catheterization. Not sure what they suspect with Stude's mom.

Amazing story about your wife, that is fantastic and glad to hear she is doing well. I am sure that procedure was a bit more of a nail-biter and scary.

Well gentlemen, she called me about 15 minutes ago. She doesn’t have any blockages. She said she just has to take it easy with her arm as they use artery in your arm. She feels fine and was home resting with Trevor and stepdad. The crumb snatchers, err nephews were at friends house as we spoke so Trevor gets a well deserved rest.
