let all understand. if you have a blockage in an artery in your heart but have had NO heart attack yet a stent is the way to go. If you HAVE had a heart attack then some damage has been done the body scars over the crack in the heart even if you get a stent. That scar tissue is NOT heart muscle its hard scar tissue so some reduction of heart power is done. The stent is to keep open an artery that gets blocked or has a narrowing so the stent forces open the artery and lets great blood flow.Does a stint force you to not coach though? Not sure
Why do I know? try 3 heart attacks , 4 stents, yes permanent heart damage but hey I am still here after 25 years since my first. So for CJ if they cought it in time with no heart attack a stent is good. If he has had a heart attack it now all depends if its a BIG one or a small one. With a stent insert. he should be fine. TIME is of the upmost importance to unblock the problem, With the hab doctors in the bubble with the players this is very GOOD. Ambulance call right away.
