Which stent to choose in angioplasty
My father-in-law (72 yrs old) recently underwent an angiography, where 80% blockage in one artery and 70% blockage in another artery was detected. We were advised to go for an angioplasty in the arterty with 80% blockage.
We are now evaluating three stents - Resolute Integrity, Xience Prime and Promus Element. Can you please help us decide which one to go for?
Our cardiologist says all of them are good. But I have noted that the Promus Element is not bio-degradable. Should that affect our decision?

Cholestrol confusion
I was diagnosed with very high ldl(187) along with vit D,vit b12 deficiency (recovered in 8 weeks) but 3-4 brand of statins i tried gave me muscule pain,fatigue,hand tremors,muscule weaknes,confusion,loss of balance...
I also tried red yeast rice tablet and psyllium husk(2 spoon in water) but both give me weakness and fatigue.....
All this makes me wonder if i try to lower cholestrol even a bit by any means then it gives me weakness and muscule pain? I wonder whats going on?
