THE LAD HAS 20% TO 30% PROXIMAL AND MID VESSEL DISEASE.
HAS A DISTAL LAD LESION OF 90% PLUS PRIOR TO AN APICAL RECURRENT BRANCH. IT IS OF SIGNIFICANT SIZE. THERE IS A D1 THAT HAS A 50% TO 70% LESION SHORTLY AFTER ITS ORIGIN.
>>>The only lesion of any significance is " A DISTAL LAD LESION OF 90%". The guidelines for any intervention (stents) are vessels greater than 70% unless the occlusion causes angina (chest pain). The LAD at the far end down stream (distal) may or may not cause any problems mainly due to the location..
THE RIGHT CORONARY ARTERY IS DOMINANT.SIGNIFCANT SIZE VESSEL
PROXIMALLY.IT GIVES RISE TO TWO SMALL PDAs THREE SMAll POSTERIOR LEFT VENTRICULAR BRANCH AND MODERATE TO LARGE POSTERIOR LEFT VENTRICULAR.
>>>I don't know the significance of the small vessels. A stress test could evaluate whether there are perfusion issues (inabiity to adequately supply blood/oxygen due to size?)

Your regimen of your medication appears to be addressing high blood pressure and cholesterol. Plavix and aspirin are usually the medication for a year or so after a stent implant to help prevent blood clots. Usually after a year the plavix discontinued and asprin to prevent clotting. I don't see any medication that cause your symptoms, but a doctor who has your medical history, etc. may provide answers.

thank you for your input. so do you think this is bad for someone my age 40 i have changed my eating habits and over the last few months i have lost lbs I'm down to lb I'm tall i started to walk Min. a day i still can't kick the habit of dipping tobacco i have cut back to 3 cans a week
Weight of 230 may or may not be an issue...depends body mass index within a acceptable range. However, it should be favorable to your general to have lost the unnecessary lbs.
went to see Dr. today blood presser was 117/80 he told me to quit taken plavix and to get my weight down to 215 to 210 will check blood again in June to see if cholesterol is where he wants it to be if not he will put me on another cholesterol med.told me if i do the walking and eat right i should have no problems he seems to think he can keep thing under control with meds as for the chest pains they are gone nerves i guess doc said don't worry and go live your life without restrictions just be smart.
