Heart
disease includes plaque-blocked arteries,
congenital conditions, arrhythmia, and diseases of the actual
heart muscle. Whether heart disease is detected early
or not revealed until after heart failure, doctors have
many kinds of remedies and treatments to reduce the risks
of further heart disease. Broadly defined, there are three
categories of heart disease treatment.
Take Two and Call Me in the Morning
If your heart is beating too quickly, or if the arteries
around it contract tightly, the heart will be overtaxed,
like revving an engine that’s in park. Doctors prescribe
three classes of pills called nitrates, beta blockers, and
calcium channel blockers to let the heart run efficiently.
Each of these types of heart disease treatments help
the heart to beat regularly and slowly, or expand the arteries
in the area of the heart so that blood flow is more regular.
Everyone has seen TV ads promoting Aspirin to thin the
blood and reduce the risk of blood clots causing blocked
arteries. While Aspirin does diminish the blood’s ability
to form clots, other drugs fight cholesterol, which can
form plaque in the arteries and lead to heart failure. These
drugs are usually simply called cholesterol reducing drugs
or are part of a subcategory called statins.
As always, if your doctor prescribes medicine, remember
to ask plenty of questions about what the drug is and what
it does.
Scalpel, Please
When clogged cardiac arteries are life threatening, heart
disease treatment can mean going into surgery. Some
surgeries will clear the plaque in the arteries by cleaning
or grinding it away or inflating a balloon in the arteries
to break up the plaque. Bypass surgeries take a large blood
vessel from elsewhere in the body and graft it to the blocked
artery so blood can pass to the heart.
Surgeries for other conditions include implanting a pacemaker
into the heart to treat arrhythmia, and doctors can transplant
aortic valves into a patient whose valve has stopped functioning
properly. In case no heart disease treatment is possible,
such as in infants born with heart defects, artificial hearts
do exist, though they are only a temporary solution until
a heart transplant can be performed.
Treat The Whole System
Of course, before your heart gets desperate enough to need
drugs or surgery, look to the risk factors you can control.
Don’t smoke; control your cholesterol so that plaque
never gets a chance to clog your arteries; and exercise
regularly, most days in a week, to keep your heart muscles
healthy. Then maybe you might never need to know about heart
disease treatment.
