Last month, beloved Hollywood actor Ray Romano revealed that he had a heart stent installed after doctors found a 90% blockage in his main artery, also known as the “widow maker.”
The “Everybody Loves Raymond” star disclosed his history of high cholesterol on an episode of the “WTF Podcast with Marc Maron.” In this interview, DocWire News Medical Lead Dr. Payal Kohli discussed the dangers associated with a blockage in the “widow maker,” the details of Mr. Romano’s procedure, and the importance of maintaining cholesterol to avoid a potentially fatal cardiovascular episode.
