"During a campaign event yesterday evening, Sen. Sanders experienced some chest discomfort. Following medical evaluation and testing he was found to have a blockage in one artery and two stents were successfully inserted. Sen. Sanders is conversing and in good spirits. He will be resting up over the next few days," said Sanders’ senior adviser Jeff Weaver on Wednesday in a statement. "We are canceling his events and appearances until further notice, and we will continue to provide appropriate updates.”

Stents are no big deal today.

True, but the underlying condition that necessitated the stents is the real issue.

Maybe that is what I need. After a heat attack in 2003 my left ventricle ejection fraction is only 25 with 40 considered to be heart failure. I had one stent put in last month. I’ll see the cardiologist this afternoon.

It’s over for Comrade Sanders! Now focus shifts to Fauxahontas. She is not the frontrunner of a very weak field of RATS. Wanna bet there will be more allegations coming out now about her using her “Indian” heritage to gain other things in life. It is all setting up well for the return of Shrillary and possibly the appearance of Moochelle too!

I’m not a doctor, just a patient. I think the gold standard short of the cath lab is a nuclear stress test where they put dye into your veins and do scans before and after exercising. I believe you have to have symptoms like chest pain or trouble breathing before a nuclear test is covered by insurance.

What probably happened to Sanders is what happened to me. I had a syncope incident followed by breathlessness. I was take by ambulance who did a EKG which was normal. At hospital they drew blood early in morning (to test for changes in the blood that indicate a your heart was stressed) my first results were negative but results from a test later in day came back elevated. I was then sent to cath lab where they send a probe into the veins that serve the heart that measure blockages and if a partial blockage how well the blood is flowing by the blocked area. For me their were partial blockages but not enough to warrant a stent.

Two years after that the doctors want me to do a nuclear stress test to see if any sign of additional blockage. Apparently my recent nuclear stress test is much better than the base line when I had my heart attack.

I have seen the information regarding the places that will scan you for plaque but do not know how well the results are in false positives and false negatives. My recommendation is to discuss any symptoms you may be having with your GP and see if h/she would give you referral to cardiologist.

I had something similar years ago. Spent a week in the hospital..only for them to finally figure out I had vasodepressor Syncope after putting me on a tilt table.

I wonder if he’ll receive any lectures about socialized medicine while he’s hospitalized?

Rush Limbaugh just asked which hospital in Havana Bernie is in so that he can send flowers.

“I saw some polling awhile back that had Biden, not Warren, as the second choice of the most Bernie supporters. Don’t know if that still holds true, though.”

I figure yes, this is true.

But I think the Sanders supporters and Warren supporters overlap more.

Hardcore Sanders/Warren seem to be strongly against Biden and Harris. And Buttgeig to sone degree. They see them as Wall Street flunkies.

One more thing that I learned about heart attacks and blockages that may be important to women (i’m a guy). The doctors do not know why my heart attack occurred. My veins are not blocked enough to cause a heart attack. They speculate that a spasm occurred in my veins causing the blood flow to stop and then a partial blockage may be more dangerous.

What I learned is that for women spasms are more common and very little research has been done. So even if you have little or no blockage a spasm can still cause a heart attack.

There is medication -calcium channel blockers- which can lower the risk of a spasm.

To require two stents in one artery indicates the lower anterior descending or circumflex as most likely given their long lengths

Could be wrong..I was incorrect just last night here

They go right to cath lab if it’s serious symptoms wise....enzymes come back quick now anyhow

If you’re in acute chest pain and pallid or yellow and O2 plummeting and pulse feeble or have a known history

There’s little time to waste....they’ll administer heparin and morphine

You can end up with stents in an hour or so or CABG 12 hours later in the blue pod

I go to Vanderbilt for such entertainment....they have surpassed St Thomas in my opinion here in Nashville for cardiac emergency care

If you’re stable then yes....it’s the slow route and you might wait hours or overnight for invasive procedure

I had a friend suffered a serious heart attack and ambulance took him to St Thomas he was in cath immediately and heart surgery immediately after as they discovered the blockage location
