This is the most common treatment for the heart. People aged more than 65 years are more prone to heart disease and coronary angioplasties are mostly done in this case.

The heart needs a regular supply of blood and it supplies by the coronary arteries to the heart. In some cases these arteries become hardened and narrowed and restrict the flow of blood to the heart, resulting in coronary heart disease. Due to coronary heart disease, people start having discomfort in their chest and it increases the risk of heart attack or of dying, which are usually started cause of stress or hard physical activity. Chest pain due to narrowed and hardened of the arteries called angina can prevent by the medicines. If medication is not effective, in such case cardiologist suggests coronary angioplasty. After the heart attack cardiologist immediately does the angioplasty. Angioplasty is helpful to the quick opening of blockage that reduces the damage to the heart during the heart attack and restores blood flow to the heart muscles.

The whole procedure of a coronary angioplasty takes up to 2 hours depending on the treatment. In some cases if the patient is being treated for angina, needs to stay in the hospital. Normally patient can be able to go home on the same day. Patient after the angioplasty is advised to avoid hard or energy consuming activities, heavy weight lifting or driving for some time (minimum for a week) But if a patient is admitted to the hospital because of a heart attack, in this case, the patient needs to stay in the hospital for some days as per the instructions of the cardiologist Dr. Jitendra Singh Makkar after the angioplasty.

A coronary artery bypass is an invasive surgery in which from the other parts of the body the healthy blood vessel will be taken and connected to the coronary arteries. In this procedure Cardiologist diverts the blood through these healthy vessels means bypasses the narrowed and blocked sections of arteries.
