Guest guest Posted July 23, 2000 Report Share Posted July 23, 2000 Hi , My name is and I live in Manteca CA, not too far from you. Welcome to the group. As you probably already know, this is a wonderful group and can offer vast amounts of information. I wish I could give you some answers to your questions, but I don't have much knowledge that subject. I did have an angiogram before I was dx with RP. I had no problems at all at that time. I know that there are some in the group that have heart problems and maybe they have had an angiogram. Hope you start to feel better and let us know what you find out from your doctor. Again welcome.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2000 Report Share Posted July 23, 2000 Hi, again - sorry I should have been more specific. I have been all over the Web. I've visited a lot of medical information sites, vasculitis sites, pubmed, etc. What I haven't found so far is a real person's experience with an angiogram/RP. The literature on Takayasu's Ateritis, vasculitis, and RP give lots of info on cardiac issues but say nothing of contraindications on the angiogram. I have a half inch stack of printouts to take with me tomorrow, but I really, really was hoping to talk to someone who went through this. You are all so great and so helpful. I hope you know how conforted I have been by your presence on the Web. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
