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)
Knew someone who had a pre-emptive stent put in a few years ago.
This year, he dropped dead from a heart attack during a bike race, at the age of 50. I suspect the stents gave him a false sense of security.
I had 10 stents placed in the RCA Easter afternoon when I had a Non-ST Elevated MI. I’m just as glad they did it, I was back in the gym 4 days later and have no bad effects.
