: Anyone been told they have a 60-70% blockage in one artery,(heart cath) then go for a angioplasty and told they do not have a blockage? This was five days apart..Surely this is not just one person having this problem...

Sharyn: I will be undergoing an angioplasty (catheter) this coming Friday. Hopefully, and prayerfully I would be most grateful to be able to hear what you have heard. Maybe your luck will rub off onto me????? Let's pray for good results. I was told by my doctor that if a woman is buster than the norm it could be a dark (looks like a block, in my case they say they think I had a small heart attack) spot and they think it could be a block in the front bottom of the heart. The angioplasty will allow us to know for sure. If it is blocked they will insert a stent. I'll post the results next week.
