I just got off the phone with Mom. Dad is in the recovery room form the up the leg look at your heart thing. They found no blockage and all looked normal So far they have found nothing to have caused the spell\attack or what ever it was. He is getting some lung tests this afternoon and probably gets to go home tomorow Thats when Moms fun starts Thanks for all the support Larry

Great news, Larry!
The "up the leg look at your heart thing" is called a coronary angiogram or a heat catheterization (FYI)

So happy there were no blockages.
Wish your Mom well for us too! Your Dad is lucky to have her

Larry,

That same thing happened to my dad a few months ago. they did the angioplasty and a 24hr heart monitor. nothing abnormal. Sometimes you may never figure out what caused it.



Glad he's ok.

Uh, I think that if they did an angioPLASTY, they must have found the trouble, an angioGRAM is just a look-see, I'm pretty sure....Lisa, check me on this....glad to hear all is well though...in any case.

No angioplastic just the look around. I went up last night around 6 and they took him down to do the MRI he was suposed to get when he went in and this mess all started They are going to let him in on the results this morning. They want to pay atention to his liver area because that is where the cancer was when they did the operation a couple of years ago.

Great news! My Dad had a 4 way by-pass 22 years ago and had to have stints put in a couple of years ago. It is amazing what they can do now days.
