Comments on Heart Angiogram (or Cath): What You Need to Know
This the the WORST procedure I have ever had in my life! I have had several heart attacks due to blood clots and had an angiogram done. I will NEVER have another one!!! The pain when they stab the catheter into your groin is like no other. I was also bruised from my navel to my knee and was unable to stand up and walk for nearly 2 months! Just an FYI…..they do NOT numb you or knock you out! They simply rub a disinfectant on the area and STAB it in while you are awake!
oh my god!!!. Paul Walker actually is a surgeon
HOw is this diffrent from the one that you let your patient swallow a camera? I think you mentioned somehting like that in one of your earlier videos. Thanks.
im about to go and have this done in an hour, my cardiologist wants to give me a pacemaker for severe symptomatic bradycardia (heart rate of 30-40 bpm during the rest phase of every activity) but since it will mess up my military career he suggested me try this to see if they can find y i am having the problems
