I have a great cardiologist. It almost seems a curse!

2. My brother had 7 stents in his heart

when he died suddenly in 2019. He had his first heart attack at age 29. Youngest man in CCU (cardiac care unit).
He went to Cleveland Clinic and they found that the stints they put in his heart back in the 80s formed scar tissue and wrapped tissue around the stint in his veins. They could not be removed to be replaced. So the later stints he had in were working much better but he continued to take more cholesterol meds and BP meds and still had angina. He drank like a fish and wouldn't stop. He quit smoking cigarettes in the 80s but smoked the 'better' stuff. He was 57 when he passed.

Live your life and take care. Enjoy the days you have and try to keep the anger at bay. Everybody is different so do what they tell you (if you can). Good luck. You're forgiven.
