My doc just requested a blood test and echo cardiogram, because I have elevated blood pressure w/ low pulse. But a very low max heart rate. She mentioned stent and said I'd be back on my feet in no time
I didn't have the "heart" to tell her, that hell no, I'll go to Hadler / Ornish route... If it comes to that.
