What Causes Shortness Of Breath After Catheterization?
I had catheterization mid dec 2016 with stent. Shortness of breath started about a week later. Mid January 2017 had another cath with stent. Shortness of breath continued sometimes being quite aggressive . Last week was so bad went to emergency room. My troponin was about 40 times the max 8 hours later about 30 times on Monday this week 12 times and yesterday 10 times. Presumably I had an event last week... No chest pains. The shortness of breath is a bit easier. I m 68 and an athlete n everyone news says I look terrific healthwise
