heart caths and angioplasties are NOT benign procedures
What the study said was
short term risks balanced long term gains,
in non-acute settings
There’s that but this particular study is different than what the headline/article says it is. Stents for an actual heart attack/blockage are still good for opening the artery - but pre-emptive stents might not be (eg medical science may be barking up the wrong tree for heart disease)
“... a big federally funded study found.”
A big red flag went up when I read that.
“Sounds like liberal socialism doesn’t want medical procedures.”
exactly right ... i’ve almost lost count of the number of times stenting restored my life after both heart attacks and near heart (unstable angina) attacks.
medications don’t do shit to unblock coronary arteries ...
AND there’s already a standard of when NOT to stent, namely for any blockage that’s not over 60% blocked ...

Yes because this study does not even make sense if you think about what the “Procedures” correct. Medicines can’t do that.
My friends dad was diagnosed with blocked heart artery after suffering a mild heart attack. He began a walking routine of 7 miles every week. 6 months later his heart had grown new bypass arteries in his heart! He no longer needs heart procedure to place stents or do a bypass.
