Is Diastolic Pressure Of 20 Normal After Having Stent Inserted Into Heart?
My grandma is about 66 years old. She had a heart attack today and waited 2 and a half hours until seeking medical help. They ended up inserting a stent into her heart and now she has a diastolic blood pressure of around 20 and has an irregular heartbeat. Is this normal?

hi there
dear its completely abnormal to have a diastolic pressure of 2mmhg as any diastolic bp below 60 is abnormal.She must be in an icu if she just had an angioplasty done. Regarding irregular heart beat a patient can go in AF post heart attack that needs to be taken care with meds as it can aslo cause low bp. Please talk to conserned doctor asap.
Good Luck
