I am middle-age guy with normal cholesterol, no diabetes and normal chemistries. I had some blocked arteries for years now & yet I managed with really no chest pains or suffering. Last year - a car ran me over and I had much loss of blood and went into cardiac shock from the impact - & - had a MASSIVE heart attack which they said destroyed large areas of my heart muscle.
since the accident, I breathe with gasping if it's cold outside, or if I get anxiety. these symptoms are solely from the heart attack. I refuse to do bypass surgery - they admit it will only stay clear for some years and then later re-clog. I was told that there is no therapy, medicine or anything which will repair my severely DAMAGED heart muscle.- which give me symptoms. My ejection fraction is better than 50%. Prior to attack I had NO chest pains, I walked freely, climbed stairs. etc.etc. I also was told that my body created excellent COLLATERAL vessels to feed my heart,
What hopes do I have?
