The type of treatment which you will be receiving at Ujala Cygnus Kanpur, depends on certain factors which are mentioned below.
- The latest condition of your coronary arteries
- The cause for your heart attack and its level of severity
- Your overall health also plays an essential role in determining what treatment you will get
Many people are diagnosed with thrombolysis, angioplasty, and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in emergency heart attack treatment. Cardiac doctors working with Ujala Cygnus, one of the best heart hospitals in Kanpur make sure that their patients are explained about the treatment process and disease with all details in an empathic manner.
We will discuss all these surgeries in detail right below.
1. Thrombolysis
This treatment is also known as thrombolytic therapy, an injection of medication to quickly dissolve the blood clot that prevents the artery from pumping the blood in your heart. The injection is sometimes referred to as the ‘clot-busting’ medication as it busts the blocked artery and allows it to pass blood flow.
The injection is inserted in your vein (usually in your hand or arm) and then, it is administered itself gradually to dissolve the clotting of blood. Once the blood starts to flow again, it aids in restoring the damage to the heart muscle. The injection is an emergency aid and is used in the first few hours following a heart attack.
2. Angioplasty
It is a medical procedure in which a special balloon is used to widen the artery to restore blood flow in the heart. While performing the surgical operation, the doctor puts a tiny mesh tube called a stent in your artery. The tube helps prevent any further blockages in the artery even after several months and years of surgery.
However, certain risks are associated with this procedure. These are:
- Bleeding around the insertion area
- Allergic reactions and infections to the X-ray dye used
- Heart stroke
Ujala Cygnus, being one of the best heart hospitals in Kanpur, has the most experienced hands who can perform angioplasty with utmost precision.
3. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery
This surgery may be performed after you have a heart attack. It is a major operation where the doctor grafts a blood vessel from the other part of your body and links it to the aorta and the coronary artery. A few risks are also associated with this operation which is as follows:
- Bleeding during or after the surgery
- Clotting of blood can result in heart strokes and other lung problems
- Infection at your incision area
- Pneumonia
- Breathing issues
4. Ongoing Medication
If you’re suffering from any heart disease, it’s safe to begin with your medications immediately, prescribed by an experienced cardiologist. These medicinal drugs are vital to prevent your disease’s severity and reduce the risk of a heart attack or sudden stroke. Therefore, it is essential to be on medications that will improve your overall health and well-being.
