Ok, I believe I have read or am understanding from reading on the internet that 3 days after a right femur angiogram that it is possibly a subcuteneous hematoma. See 3 days after my angiogram my right testcle is very tender and sore and the area from the testicle to slighly lower the angiogram injection site. I have a little bruising on the lower part of my penis to the right part of the scrotum. Could this be a hematoma or just accidental damage due to the 30 min press they use after tge surgery to make aure the femur doesnt bleed? This evening i also got a tight constricting feeling on my left femur artery in my left thigh. I have been recently diagnoised with heart failure and no blockage, but with an ef of 12%. I'm a 45 year old male. I need to make a follow up appt anyway so i guess tomorrow I will do that and discuss my syptoms to my Cardiologist. Thanks Craig

Thanks for your query toehead. I don't think you have a fracture in femur. Probably there is an injury. The area need to be examined for proper diagnosis. Consult with your doctor as soon as possible. Thanks ...

My mother is 88 and recently diagnosed with afib/heart failure. She is on warferin and two other drugs, one is a diuretic and can't remember the other. She does not have diabetes and she is very thin. Of late, her calves and ankles have become very swollen and now she is weeping clear liquid through the skin on her lower leg. She will be visiting the doctor, but I was wondering what, if any, treatments there are for this condition.

Hi, the most probable, evident cause which can bring to legs swelling in this situation is heart failure worsening. Heart failure can progress even in case that patient accurately takes prescribed drugs. Atrial fibrillation complicates, worsenes the course of disease. Try to reach her doctor as soon as possible. Doctor may advice to increase diuretic doses, contunue treatment in-hospital states and in general fortified heart failure treatment brings the patient to a compensated condition within ...

should my 72 yr old husband who has stage 3 or 4 heart failure, has afib, also has a icd implanted and who has just developed diabetes 2 should he take Metformin HCL 500 mgs tablets twice daily with a meal? One Dr. prescribed it and another Dr. of his says no...will make him lose weight and go against his heart. What is your opinion?

As cardiologist I can tell you that metformin is not contraindicated in patients who have heart failure, on contrary, it controls blood suger, lowers levels of cholesterin and so it protects patient's heart vessels. The only conditions when metformin is absolutely contraindicated is acute miocardial infarction and nonstable angina! But, there exists another thing that needs to be considered, metformin has side effect called lactic acidosis, which itself can cause arrhythmias and some other symp ...

What are the risks associated with taking the recreational drug Molly (MDMA, ecstasy-like capsules) with a cardiac pacemaker implanted for congenital heart block?

Contraindicated! Pacemaker controls heart rate and rhythm, does whatever it can do to keep regular, normal heartbeat. Any recrational drug act on heart rate by different mechanisms (for example ecstasy dilate veins and less blood goes to heart and heart needs to work faster to pump enough blood for body), so it does absolutely opposite thing, that of course will act on pacemaker's work. Pacemaker tries to correct "mistakes" in the heart, Molly in contrary will make more and more mistakes and pac ...
