heart cath

[6702]

I had heart cath done two years ago and it came back mild to moderate diffuse disease and 20%lesion in LAD. Had a second heart cath last month by a differant facility and came back no disease who do I believe?

Did you make any changes in what/how you ate, etc. Any other lifestyle changes? (If so, please let us know specifics.) You don't hear about it much, especially on "mainstream" medical sites, but it is possible to actually reverse plaques. See if you can obtain the CD (or whatever pictures you can get) of the cath from 2 years ago and take it with you and have him compare the two.

thanks, have appt on 12/16 with cardiologist that says normal will ask him how can go from 20% to zero. Just don't know who to believe at this point

maybe both. Perhaps the other cardiologist considers anything below 30% to be unworthy of mention. However, it would be very interesting to know if you had a 20% lesion which has reduced to zero in two years. I doubt it though.
