I am going for my pre-op tomorrow, just a regular electrocardiogram and blood pressure. Angiogram is on next Tuesday and hoping for no need for stents. Currently 1525 CAC, taking 20mg. statin. Active, gym, swimming and tennis (yesterday I played for 2 hrs.) and today some more. No fatigue or running out of breath. I am 64. I've done all my tests. After the pet scan cardiologist suggested the procedure. I'll get it over with. Peace of mind first. My buddy has a 1050 CAC, did not do the stress test but went for the angiogram. Cardiologist had no need to put stents on him.
If stents are placed, does anyone know how many days of recovery does it take to get back exercising or am I doomed ? Thanks
