Angioplasty and stent placement surgery are the two procedures that help to unblock the coronary arteries. The blockage of the coronary arteries can happen due to several coronary artery diseases. The surgical treatment can be beneficial in restoring the flow of blood into the veins. The treatment is helpful in emergencies such as coronary artery blockage and heart attack. However, a thin catheter is passed into the blood vessel for angioplasty and reaches the blocked region. On the top of the catheter, there is a tiny balloon inflated at the coronary artery's narrowed region. Thereby, it helps to remove the plaque from the blood vessels. The surgery is often known as a percutaneous coronary intervention. Angioplasty surgery is a great solution to save the life of a patient suffering from heart artery blockage. Stents Placements Coronary stent surgery is also helpful in removing the blockage of the coronary artery. A stent is a form of tiny metal mesh coil inserted into the artery...

A pacemaker is an electric medicinal device implanted under the skin to manage the heartbeat. This is performed by the best cardiologist doctor and used to treat heart failure. Ideally, the electrical signal will initiate the heartbeat. This works on the heart area, such as the sinoatrial node. The SAN node in the heart is the natural pacemaker that generates the electrical signals that lead to the generation of the heartbeat to slow (bradycardia) and too fast (tachycardia). Without SAN, the heartbeat seems to be irregular. These are known as arrhythmias. The pacemaker implantation helps generate electrical impulses and normalize the rhythm and heartbeat rate. Who Needs the Pacemaker Implantation Treatment? Patients whose heartbeat is irregular and experiencing a severe heart attack can undergo surgical treatment. In addition to this, other reasons to have the pacemaker implantation treatment are as follows. The cardiologist doctor can provide pacemaker implantation for those patients...
