  • Beta-blockers: Help regulate heart rate and blood pressure.
  • Antiplatelet drugs: Prevent blood clots in arteries.

Angioplasty and Stent Placement

  • Minimally invasive procedure to open blocked arteries.
  • A stent is placed to keep the artery open and restore blood flow.

Bypass Surgery (CABG)

  • Surgical procedure to reroute blood around blocked or narrowed coronary arteries.
  • Improves blood supply to the heart muscle and reduces symptoms of heart disease.

Pacemaker or ICD Implantation

  • A pacemaker regulates irregular heartbeats.
  • An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) monitors and corrects life-threatening arrhythmias.

Cardiac Rehabilitation

  • A structured program combining exercise, education, and counselling.
  • Aims to improve heart health after surgery or a heart attack.

Heart Valve Surgery

  • Repair or replacement of damaged heart valves to improve heart function.
  • Can be done via traditional surgery or minimally invasive techniques.

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)

  • Bypass surgery to improve blood flow to the heart by creating new routes for blood to reach the heart muscle.
  • Typically recommended for patients with severe coronary artery disease.
