  • The most common symptoms are shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs or abdomen.
  • Diagnosis typically involves echocardiograms, electrocardiograms (ECGs), or MRI scans to visualize valve function.
  • Treatment options may include surgical repair, replacement of the valve, or catheter-based techniques depending on severity.
  • Recovery time varies based on procedure type but often includes a stay in a cardiac rehabilitation program.
  • A thorough follow-up schedule will be established to monitor heart health post-surgery.

This surgery is crucial for restoring normal blood flow and preventing further complications related to heart health.

CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY

Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at widening narrowed or obstructed coronary arteries. This intervention is typically performed to alleviate symptoms of coronary artery disease, such as chest pain and shortness of breath.

  • Symptoms include chest discomfort, fatigue, and even heart attacks in severe cases.
  • The condition is often diagnosed through stress tests, angiograms, or imaging studies that reveal the blockage.
  • Treatment options involve balloon catheterization to open up the artery, often accompanied by placing a stent for support.
  • Post-procedure, patients can expect short recovery times, followed by lifestyle adjustments and medication management.
  • A comprehensive rehabilitation program may be recommended to enhance heart health.

This procedure can significantly improve quality of life and reduce the risk of serious cardiac events.
