Drugs used for angioplasty and what to tell hospital staff

[Guest guest]

Hi all.

My Dad (diagnosed with LBD just a few months ago but showing signs for at least

2 years) is having several stents put into three blocked heart vessels in just

over a week. I'm wondering if anyone was aware if the contrast dye or other

drugs used during angioplasty/stent procedures can have an effect on LBD?

Also, when Dad was in hospital a few weeks ago (when the need for the stents was

discovered) we walked in after his procedure only to find a nurse 'yelling' at

him in order to get him to move faster. Naturally we got upset and Mum told the

nurse why Dad can't move quickly but now I'm concerned about how he'll again be

treated for this next procedure as most nurses I've come across haven't even

heard of LBD. Is there something, not too lengthy, that I could leave with Dad

so that they're aware of his condition and treat him accordingly? If I hear

someone speaking to him like that again, it could get ugly!

Thank you and peace to all,

Tania
