You can check your heart health and book a free online consultation through Dr. Sameh Allam's website from this link: https://bit.ly/my_coronary_artery_disease Can coronary artery blockage be treated without surgery? First, the function of the heart is to transport oxygenated blood (containing oxygen) to all organs of the body, and the coronary arteries nourish the heart muscle by providing blood, oxygen and energy to the heart muscle through the three main arteries, which branch into a large number of blood vessels that ensure that pure oxygenated blood reaches every cell of the heart. With a narrowing in one of the three main arteries or one of its branches (a symptom of coronary artery disease), the part connected to this artery or branch lacks oxygen and energy, and the symptoms of coronary artery disease (a symptom of heart disease) appear in the form of pain in the middle of the chest, neck or lower jaw, and sometimes pain in the stomach or back. These symptoms of coronary artery disease appear after unusual effort or after eating fatty food or due to nervous excitement, and with the appearance of symptoms of coronary artery disease, which are among the most important symptoms of heart disease and coronary arteries, a cardiologist should be consulted as soon as possible. By ignoring the symptoms of coronary artery disease, which include symptoms of heart disease and neglecting examination and consulting an excellent cardiologist, the narrowing turns into a complete blockage in the artery; which leads to fibrosis of the muscular part fed by the blocked artery, and thus the part stops contracting and expanding; which leads to a drop and disease of the weak heart muscle. For those with high levels of cholesterol or blood sugar, medications that control cholesterol and sugar levels in the body should be taken. In the case of smokers, the artery is damaged by the nicotine contained in cigarettes, so; When a balloon is installed in a heart catheter to expand the artery or treat coronary artery blockage without surgery, the artery shrinks again during the expansion process, so the cardiologist installs a stent with the balloon, as the stent helps expand the artery and prevents it from shrinking again and ensures blood flow inside the artery. Coronary artery disease and high blood pressure are the most common symptoms of heart disease in the elderly, but young people and children can also suffer from heart diseases, such as: 1- Congenital heart defects (present from birth). 2- Rheumatic heart disease resulting from the effects of rheumatic fever, which leads to narrowing and regurgitation of the heart valves. 3- Some heart muscle diseases, which are the result of inflammation of the heart muscle; which leads to enlargement and dilation of the heart muscle and heart muscle weakness. 4- Cardiac catheterization (which is one of the methods of treating coronary artery blockage without surgery) is a routine and safe procedure to diagnose and treat some cardiovascular diseases, and is divided into two types: therapeutic cardiac catheterization and diagnostic cardiac catheterization. Therapeutic cardiac catheterization is used to widen narrow heart valves and treat coronary artery blockage without surgery, by implanting a balloon or heart stents. Cardiac catheterization is part of certain treatment procedures for various heart diseases, including: 1- Widening narrow arteries (angioplasty) with the installation of a heart stent if necessary, and treating coronary artery blockage without surgery. 2- Closing holes in the heart and repairing other congenital defects. 3- Expanding the renal arteries and peripheral arteries. 4- Closing part of the heart to prevent blood clots. 5- Treating irregular heartbeats. 6- Opening narrowed heart valves (balloon valvuloplasty). 7- Repairing or replacing heart valves. Diagnostic cardiac catheterization is used to examine the chambers of the heart and coronary arteries and diagnose diseases that led to the symptoms of coronary artery disease, as these chambers supply blood to the heart muscle and large arteries and veins. Diagnostic cardiac catheterization in the heart reveals some health problems, the most important of which are: 1- Checking the heart's pumping function, by imaging the right ventricle or left ventricle. 2- Diagnosing heart valve problems. 3- Diagnosing congenital heart defects present since birth or holes in the heart. 4- Evaluating hemodynamics, according to measuring blood pressure and oxygen levels in different parts of the heart. 5- There is a problem measuring the amount of oxygen reaching the heart. 6- Imaging the renal arteries and peripheral arteries. 7- Determine the location of the narrowing or blockage of the blood vessels that causes chest pain, and this can be done by angiography. 8- Taking a sample or biopsy of the heart tissue, using a catheter whose tip is connected to a small jaw-like tip. 9- Coronary angiography; to check for heart diseases that led to the symptoms of coronary artery disease and blockage of the arteries leading to the heart. #Symptoms_of_coronary_artery_disease #Treatment_of_coronary_artery_blockage #Coronary_arteries #Heart_muscle_weakness #Symptoms_of_heart_disease #Heart_health #Heart_catheterization #Sameh_Allam #Dr._Sameh_Allam #Heart_doctor #Excellent_heart_doctor #Clever_heart_doctor #Best_heart_doctor #Coronary_artery #Heart_disease #Heart_disease_treatment #Heart_disease
