Angioplasty with Dr. Bharat Agarwal
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to improve the flow of blood in coronary arteries that become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup. This plaque, made up of cholesterol, calcium, and other substances, obstructs blood flow to the heart and can lead to discomfort or severe heart conditions. If you are experiencing chest pain or coronary artery disease, the angioplasty procedure in Hyderabad at Dr. Bharat’s Cardiology Care can provide effective relief. Also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), angioplasty widens blocked arteries, allowing blood to flow freely to the heart and helping to prevent future complications.
Why is Angioplasty Performed?
Dr. Bharat recommend angioplasty for several reasons, including:
- Relieve Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease: Such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue, caused by blocked arteries.
- Prevent Heart Attacks: By opening blocked arteries, angioplasty helps restore blood flow to the heart, preventing further damage.
- Improve Heart Function: It enhances blood flow to the heart muscle, improving overall heart health and function.
- Minimize the Need for Bypass Surgery: Angioplasty can often provide an alternative to traditional open-heart surgery for certain patients.
While angioplasty is highly effective, it does not cure coronary artery disease. Following the procedure, maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle and taking prescribed medications is crucial to prevent further blockages.
When is Angioplasty Recommended?
Angioplasty may be recommended if you experience:
- Chest pain (angina) that is not relieved by medications
- Shortness of breath or fatigue with exertion
- Heart attack (to open blocked arteries and restore blood flow)
- Coronary artery disease diagnosed through tests like angiography or stress tests
- Uncontrolled risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol that have led to artery blockages
Benefits of Angioplasty
- Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, angioplasty requires only small incisions and typically has a faster recovery time.
- Faster Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to weeks, depending on their overall health.
- Reduced Risk of Heart Attack: By restoring blood flow to the heart, angioplasty helps prevent further damage or the occurrence of a heart attack.
- Improved Quality of Life: Many patients experience significant relief from symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath, allowing them to resume an active lifestyle.
