We received a call from the Cardiologist a couple weeks ago with the results from Ben's stress test. He has very little heart damage and no blockage!!! We are thrilled! And relieved!
When Ben went in for his heart attack, he had 100% blockage in his LAD (left anterior descending artery) and 20% blockage in his right artery. They inserted the stent in his left artery and did nothing for the right (blockage % wasn't high enough to do anything about). Basically, the doctor attributes his results to Ben's diet, exercise and medications. We're hoping after this year, he can reduce his dosages - eventually weening himself off of the meds completely.

Such great news. I am impressed with his discipline to achieve a healthy lifestyle. He could teach my patients more than a few things.
That is such good news! Keep it up!
Yay! I'm amazed at how well he is sticking with all the life-style changes. Very admirable.
