Sure, but you damage the heart muscle and that never recovers. You're more
likely to have another heart attack too.
Remember I'm 33 (well, 34 next week), if I were 50 I'd have a totally different
opinion of this. At 33 I expect to live another 50, 60 or maybe even 70 years.
Loss of some heart muscle now is gonna have a big effect on my chances later on.

20 years ago Back in the day; The standard of care was as follows:
You have chest pain, you don't die.
You go to E.R., you don't die in 2 hours
You are transferred to ICU, learned men come in and consult. Bitchy nurses make
you use a bed pan. You don't die
3 days later they perform an angioplasty, you don't die.
Today, if you have sudden onset of angina, plan on have a cardiac procedure
THAT DAY. Why? They don't want you to die.

Tell
you what, I'm glad for the CT, without it I never would have gotten the
cath and without either of them we'd have never known about the
blockage until I had a heart attack...
