Medications after a Stent or Heart Attack

If you are admitted to the hospital to receive a stent after a heart attack, or you have significant plaque buildup in your coronary arteries, there are a group of medications that are commonly prescribed to prevent future cardiac arrest. This video summarizes the most commonly ordered heart health medications.

I had a heart attack 2 weeks ago today. A stent was placed in my "widowmaker" which was 95% blocked. I am on several of these meds. I would like to thank the staff at St. Joes in Warren Ohio and St. Elizabeths in Youngstown, Ohio. Your fast reactions saved my life. God bless you all.

Excellent discussion and explanation of the reasons why certain meds are prescribed following Stent placement.

Are you overweight? Exercising? Eating healthy? Removing stress from your life? Sometimes these things can go a long way. Even further than taking a pill.

I'm at the stage where I've stopped talking medications for my stent and previous heart attack 3 years ago. I'm sick of waking up every morning just to stare at the ground. When I come good after 1 hour, the rest of the day is just struggling to do just chores. Have to have regular breaks, can't breathe at times while sweating profusely. Feeling dizzy and just feeling crap all day. Sick of it.

I have no heart pain only adema in my lower legs. I feel my doctor is pushing stent application. I have low BP. I don't trust my health care provider. Business seems their primary goal.

I had a stent place in my RCA, it was 100 percent occluded... I have one at 70 percent also, no stent put in that one for some reason, wish he had, because I still hurt in my chest sometimes.. but I am on medication for that one and because of the stent..

Cholesterol is in your entire circulatory system. Why is there clogging of the ARTERIES close to the heart and not in the veins or capillaries in your nose, ear or knee?
This is because the pumping of the heart can cause hairline cracks. Blood pressure is highest in this area. These hairline cracks are repaired by a sticky substance LP(a), to prevent from getting worse.

Why don't animals have cardiovascular disease?
Almost all animals produce large amounts of vitamin C in their liver.
On average 35 mg/kg body weight. So we have to take at least about 3000 mg of vitamin C ourselves because humans cannot make vitamin C. You get strong collagen tissue, strong connective tissue, strong arteries. Hairline cracks no longer form and arterial plaque is removed and burned in the liver.

Repair with cholesterol is therefore a consequence of a deficiency of vitamin C.
So do not take statins, but vitamin C in a high dose: at least 3 grams, better: 6 to 10 grams

Repatha is definitely the way to go rather than Crestor/lipitor which destroy your kidneys eventually. I've been on Rapatha for over half a year and within 1 1/2 month from the time I started taking (shots) it, my ldl dropped all the way down to 38, and now it's stable at 35..

Does this advice only pertain to stemis?
