Mom's Heart Cath..........

[gja1000]

Although I know you would have preferred her arteries to be clear, I think the outcome was the best possible given the extent of disease. And yes, they do not do anything for arteries that are less than 80-90%. I'm so glad she could have a stent.

It is true Betsi, women's symptoms are very different than men's. Diana, I would ask your mom if she ever had unexplained back, neck, or jaw pain, or any unexplained fatigue or weakness. She may not remember, but I'm betting that she had one or more of those symptoms at some point. They are all more common in women than the traditional chest pain.
