What is a Heart Attack?
A Heart Attack, medically called a myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked. This blockage is usually caused by fatty deposits (plaque) in the coronary arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
When blood flow is cut off, the heart muscle begins to suffer damage. Immediate medical attention is critical to prevent permanent injury or life-threatening complications.
Common symptoms of a heart attack include:
- Chest pain or pressure, often described as squeezing or tightness
- Pain spreading to the arm, shoulder, back, neck, or jaw
- Shortness of breath
- Cold sweats, nausea, or lightheadedness
Emergency procedures such as angiogram and angioplasty are often required to quickly restore blood flow to the heart.
What Treatment did we provide to Sidhartha Chandrasekhar at Medicover?
To treat the blocked coronary artery causing Sidhartha Chandrasekhar's heart attack, Dr Ramnaresh Soudri performed an emergency angiogram followed byangioplasty.
The treatment involved:
- Conducting a coronary angiogram using contrast dye and imaging to locate the blockage
- Guiding a catheter with a small balloon to the blocked artery
- Inflating the balloon to widen the artery and restore blood flow
- Placing a stent to keep the artery open and reduce future blockage risk
This timely and precise intervention successfully restored blood circulation to the heart muscle. With continuous monitoring, expert post-procedure care, and rehabilitation guidance, Sidhartha Chandrasekhar made a smooth recovery at Medicover Hospitals, Bangalore.
