Stent Angina
stent angina
when you get a stent fitted to your heart does this mean your cured from angina?
If that blocked artery was only causing and the stent was fixed for that symptoms, than the answer is YES.
BUT if due to other reason e.g. post AMI, some relief is obtained but still you will have to continue nitrates and other medications prescribed by your doctor.
You will have do slight physical daily and control your cholesterol by dietary means as well, as it is not a cure. THE STENT WILL GET CLOGGED AGAIN, IF YOU DON’T LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.
ON the contrary, if you lead a disciplined life style, the stent will be useful for in most cases for 10 years.
Sedentary life still will decrease the life of stent, and according to my experience clogging takes place in 3 months time.
So remove this misconception, and lead active life style.
So stents are NOT a cure.
Hope answered your question.
