Who Needs Angioplasty?
Angioplasty is typically recommended for patients who have:
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): The most common reason for angioplasty, where plaque or fatty deposits build up in the arteries, restricting blood flow to the heart.
- Angina (Chest Pain): If you experience chronic chest pain due to narrowed arteries, angioplasty can help relieve this discomfort.
- Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): In emergency situations, angioplasty can be performed during or immediately after a heart attack to open blocked arteries and restore blood flow to the heart.
- Shortness of Breath and Fatigue: If you experience fatigue or shortness of breath due to reduced heart function, angioplasty may help improve these symptoms by restoring proper blood circulation.
