When is it needed?
- Chest pain, pressure or heaviness lasting more than a few minutes
- Pain spreading to the arm, jaw, neck or back
- Sweating, breathlessness, nausea or fainting
- Sudden unexplained breathlessness, especially in diabetics and the elderly
How we treat it at Aarogyavaram
- ECG within minutes of arrival
- Medicines to protect the heart and thin the blood
- Dye test of the heart arteries (angiography) and emergency angioplasty with a stent to open the blocked artery
- Cardiac ICU monitoring after the procedure
Recovery & what to expect
Most patients walk within a day or two of angioplasty. Medicines, lifestyle changes and follow-up with the cardiologist protect the heart long term.
