hear cath

just had a pacemaker check and ended up with a heart cath.
Can any of you SMART folks out there please explain to me the following note on record:
Tree Comment: Mid body ectasia in Left Main!
Doctors sort of side step and say not to worry!
Any comments appreciated>

Swelling

by PacerRep - 2013-10-20 02:10:12

It just means that your Left Main artery is swollen or distended. Causing factors are endless. But some of them are your usual suspects when it comes to heart stuff....high BP, high cholesterol, over weight, diabetic, smoking...Mid Body just means where on the left main. That comment doesn't suggest any severity, but if he said not to worry then I'd go with that. Just eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.

You know you're wired when...

You have a little piece of high-tech in your chest.
