Brief Answer:
I recommend continuing your actual therapy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation values seem to be within the normal ranges.

I recommend continuing your actual therapy in the next months.

You should know that it is important continuing dual therapy aspirin and plavix for at least 6-9 months after the stent implantation, to avoid possible occlusion of the stents and possible embolic events.

Hope to have been of help!

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
