Timely and appropriate treatment is crucial when it comes to a myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack. The primary goal is to restore blood flow to the affected part of the heart as quickly as possible to minimize damage and preserve heart function depending on the severity of the heart attack procedures such as a percutaneous coronary intervention. PCI, commonly known as angioplasty may be performed to open blocked arteries and restore blood flow. In some cases, coronary artery bypass, graft surgery, CBG may be necessary to bypass blocked arteries, posttreatment, cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle changes including a heart healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation and medication adherence play an essential role in preventing future cardiac events and promoting overall cardiovascular health.
