Post links to those studies.

Stents are not reserved for patients with complete occlusion. In fact many heart attacks are caused by rupture of plaques in vessels that have what on catheterization appear to be insignificant plaques. Google plaque rupture.

I gave you a link that mentioned a recent trail, the ISCHEMIA trial showing that endpoints like death, heart attacks, and heart failure was the same in patients treated medically and those treated with angioplasty.

Similar results were found in the COURAGE trial.

The ORBITA trial of patients with infrequent angina also showed no different in outcomes between medication and angioplasty in adverse cardiac outcomes.

If you have new onset angina, angina that increases in fluency, or occurs with less and less activity, this is unstable angina. Cardiologists would say get thee to an angioplasty suite or a bypass table. If your angina is infrequent and predictable, you may opt to try medications.

You say that your entire blood volume had to be replaced to to aspirin aggravating an ulcer. I doubt that you would be considered a candidate for medical treatment alone. Stenting appears to make more sense. I would note that in the ISCHEMIA trial I linked to said 50% of the patients undergoing angioplasty still had angina in the first year. What I have been told is that angioplasty decreases the frequency of angina, but is not always a cure.

I try to listen when my doctor explains things.

says twice: see how the world’s worst pollution compares with your local air. Could they have been any clearer? Are you really that dense that we are going to believe what you say it is when we can just check it out for ourselves by clicking? It's more than clear you didn't bother to look at it but just presumed it would be liberal propaganda.

In reply to Art, why are you doubling

My my my you are bloviating wildly at strawmen galore here. If you had spent any time on it, you'd have seen that the NYT team's work makes clear that U.S. cities mostly have some of the cleanest air around. Except when something temporary like the Paradise CA fires happen, and it was part of the exercise to make that kind of thing clear too, how wildly air quality can change with certain events.

As in polluted, or raging

As in polluted, or raging Fort Apache style/brink of collapse? I figger it's all gentrified Starbucks, coffee & scooter turf wars and the like. Totally post-woketopian. Clean air, crooked cellphone data plans.

Art, why are you doubling down on this alarmist child abusing propaganda? You must understand that children's and adult's mental health is not improved by slanted reporting, misinformation and outright lies from the NY Slime.

THe first sentence of this polluted report is a big lie, particles of air pollution can't be held

'responsible' for anything but it implies that irresponsible people should be and even worse that industrial progress is deadly killing over 4 million people including helpless children annually.. This is why we see Greta and many others like her glaring at adults and screeching 'shame on you' ignorantly believing that Western Civilization and capitalism are plots to kill then all.

The Four Morons of the Apocalypse who produced this Slime report don't even hint that human progress based on fossil fuels, free market ideas and urbanization has already doubled the human lifespan only that some tiny percentage of already ill or weak people may have their lifespan reduced because of the pollution it produces. We can always do better and we will. The almost 10% of the world population still in rural extreme poverty who shit on the ground and pollute their drinking water causing widespread disease are the next target for progress. Once they urbanize they will have something as simple as clean water to wash their hands and live much healthier lives.

These Four Morons are required by their Warmist religion to parrot their cult belief that CAGW must be at least partially responsible for this crisis. They continue to repeat the debunked false narrative that wildfires that contribute to this particle pollution are caused by man made GW. They link to another bogus report that claims that this pollution is increasing in the US after declining under the glorious Obama regime because of the irresponsible actions of the dreaded Trump. This nitwit propaganda even makes the ludicrous claim that our increasing burning of natural gas, which produces nothing but H2O and CO2 is somehow also producing these evil particles of pollution.

The only useful information from this rubbish propaganda is the active display map showing the US has the best air quality in the world. This is despite the fact that we are constantly exposed to N African desert generated pollution and Asian natural and man made sources.

Yo, da Bronx be slammin'. Who knew it was eco-friendly? New Delhi & Xi'an could use a bit of work. Looks like in China they continue to move the pollution on elsewhere, some other unlucky stiffs...

RM, five interesting study

In reply to The CDC was using science,

RM, five interesting study results none of which support your claim that medication is a better treatment for angina 'Pain' than are stents. I used aspirin to relieve angina but nearly died from a bleeding ulcer that required 11 transfusions .

Stents and bypass surgery are only required when there is complete or near complete blockage of arteries so comparing those patients with others who only need low dose aspirin and statins seems very odd. Neither of those drugs can open clogged arteries but they do thin the blood and reduce the chance of clotting.

Hmm, weren't we arguing? Yes,

In reply to I view this type of messaging

Hmm, weren't we arguing? Yes, each "green" solution has waste issues to handle. China & India flat birthrate is great but doesn't mean their huge populations won't aff CT resources for a century. Yes, transitioning to Elon Musk vehicles and solar panels is a practical step to handling global warming, whereas Greta is asking us to do something... such as build more Gigafactories? The complaints about fracking ignored how it gave us freedom and saved money to push towards renewaboes. Next gen batteries will be solid state(?!?) so no cobalt prob... (how many cobalt deaths vs kids killed some way in oil production or gas pollution?)
