Treatment for those who have suffered from cardiovascular events
What is a Heart Attack?
A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, happens when the flow of blood that brings oxygen to a part of your heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked and your heart can’t get enough oxygen. Many people survive and live active, full lives after a heart attack. Getting help and treatment quickly can limit the damage to your heart.
What is Angioplasty and Stents?
Coronary angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a medical procedure used to open clogged blood vessels in the heart. Often, after angioplasty, a small wire mesh tube called a stent is placed in the treated artery. The stent helps keep the artery open and reduces the chance of re-narrowing. Some stents are coated with medicine to prevent further narrowing.
What is Bypass or Valve Surgery?
Heart valve replacement is a procedure to replace a malfunctioning heart valve with either a biological or mechanical valve. During the procedure a heart-lung (bypass) machine is used to circulate blood while the heart is stopped.
What is Angina (Chest) Pain?
Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused when your heart muscle doesn’t receive enough oxygen-rich blood. It may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest, and the discomfort can also occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, abdomen, or back. Sometimes, angina pain may even resemble indigestion. Always seek professional advice if you experience chest pain. Remember, angina is a symptom of an underlying heart problem, usually coronary heart disease.
What is a Cardiac Transplant?
A heart transplant is an operation in which a failing heart is replaced with a healthier donor heart. Heart transplant is a treatment that’s usually reserved for people whose condition hasn’t improved enough with medications or other surgeries. While a heart transplant is a major operation, your chance of survival is good with appropriate follow-up care.
