What is a surgery you can have when your coronary artery is blocked?
Arterial coronary artery bypass surgery is what is done to cure clogged arteries to the heart.
What does the apex of your heart do I had a stress test done and am getting no blood at all to my apex do you know what causes this?
I'm really not sure, but it could be due to a coronary artery block where your right coronary artery isn't getting the necessary blood from you aorta...But that is just a guess...I would def. go to a cardiologist
What is the cure to heart attack?
Getting rid of the fat that blocks the coronary artery and cuts off blood supply to the heart. Nowadays this is done using stents, which are like tiny little tunnels that keep the artery clear and allows the blood to flow.
Coronary artery balloon angioplasty - series?
Normal anatomyThe coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. The right coronary artery supplies both the left and the right heart; the left coronary artery supplies the left heart.IndicationFat and cholesterol accumulates on the inside of arteries (atherosclerosis). The small arteries of the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) can be narrowed or blocked by this accumulation. If the narrowing is small, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, or PTCA for short, may be the course for treatment. PTCA is a minimally invasive procedure to open up blocked coronary arteries, allowing blood to circulate unobstructed to the heart muscle. The indications for PTCA are:Persistent chest pain (angina)Blockage of only one or two coronary arteriesProcedure, part 1While the patient is awake and pain-free (local anesthesia), a catheter is inserted into an artery at the top of the leg (the femoral artery). The procedure begins with the doctor injecting some local anesthesia into the groin area and putting a needle into the femoral artery (the blood vessel that runs from the heart down the leg). Once the needle is inserted, a guide wire is placed through the needle, into the blood vessel. Following this step, the guide wire is left in the blood vessel and the needle is removed. A large needle called an introducer is then placed over the guide wire and the guide wire is removed.Procedure, part 2Next, a diagnostic catheter, which is a long narrow tube, is advanced through the introducer over a .035"guidewire, into the blood vessel. This catheter is then guided to the aorta and the guidewire is removed. Once the catheter is placed in the opening or ostium of one of the coronary arteries, the doctor injects dye and takes a series of X-rays (film of the images).Procedure, part 3The first catheter is exchanged out over the guidewire for a guiding catheter and the guidewire is removed. A smaller guidewire is advanced across the blocked section of the coronary artery and a balloon -tipped tube is positioned so the balloon part of the tube is beside the blockage. The balloon is then inflated for a few seconds to compress the blockage against the artery wall. Then the balloon is deflated. The doctor may repeat this a few times, each time pumping up the balloon a little more to widen the passage for the blood to flow through. This treatment may be repeated at each blocked site in the coronary arteries.Procedure, part 4A device called a stent may be placed. A stent is a latticed, metal scaffold that is placed within the coronary artery to keep the vessel open.Procedure, part 5Once the catheter has been positioned at the coronary artery origin, contrast media is injected and a series of X-rays (film) are taken to check for any change in the arteries. Following this, the catheter is removed and the procedure is completed.Aftercare, part 1This procedure can greatly improve the blood flow through the coronary arteries and to the heart tissue in about 90% of patients and may eliminate the need for coronary artery bypass surgery. The outcome is relief from chest pain symptoms and an improved exercise capacity. In 2 out of 3 cases, the procedure is considered successful with complete elimination of the narrowing or blockage. This procedure treats the condition but does not eliminate the cause and recurrences happen in 1 out of 3 to 5 cases. Patients should consider diet, exercise, and stress reduction measures. If adequate widening of the narrowing is not accomplished, heart surgery (coronary artery bypass graft surgery, also called a CABG) may be recommended.Aftercare, part 2Immediately after the procedure, a ten-pound sandbag may be placed over the femoral artery puncture site in the leg and remain there for 6 hours. This is done to help the artery heal.Reviewed ByReview Date: 05/23/2011Michael A.

What research has been done on carnitine?
angina (heart pain due to decreased oxygen because of coronary artery disease). Two studies using L-carnitine, and one using L-propionylcarnitine, have demonstrated a reduction in symptoms of this condition.
What research has been done on HMG-CoA inhibitors?
In 2003, researchers reported that people with heart failure but no coronary artery disease received benefits after only 14 weeks of statin therapy. In addition, some research has connected the drugs to reduced risk for depression and dementia.
Heart bypass surgery - series?
Normal anatomyThe heart muscle is supplied blood through the coronary arteries. The left coronary artery supplies blood to the left ventricle. The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right ventricle.IndicationsCoronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or heart bypass surgery is recommended when one or more coronary arteries are seriously blocked and blood supply to the heart muscle is insufficient. Several tests are done to identify the cause of the chest pain (angina), such as blood tests and x-ray studies (angiograms).Procedure, part 1Although the heart itself is not "opened", the heart-lung bypass machine is used to re-route the blood from the heart while the surgery is being done to provide adequate circulation to the brain and other vital organs.Procedure, part 2Coronary bypass surgery is an open heart surgery (the chest is opened, but not the heart itself). It is done through an opening through the breast bone. While one surgeon is working on the chest, another surgeon works on taking a length of vein (saphenous vein) for the bypass through a long incision along the inside of the lower leg. The vein is sewn in above and below the blockage in the coronary artery. Alternatively, an artery from the interior aspect of the chest wall (internal mammary artery), or the arm (radial artery) is used.Procedure, part 3In many cases, more than one coronary artery must be bypassed, and both the internal mammary and radial arteries and the saphenous vein are used to perform the bypasses.AftercareAfter the operation, the patient will spend 7 to 10 days in the hospital, the first 1 to 3 days in an intensive-care unit (ICU). Chest tubes will be in place for the first 2 to 3 days to drain any residual blood and fluid from around the heart. Heart functions will be monitored. The full benefits from the operation may not be ascertained until 3 to 6 months after surgery. Sexual activity may be resumed 3 to 4 weeks after surgery. All activities that do not cause fatigue are permitted, but the patient must not strain the healing chest bone (sternum).Reviewed ByReview Date: 05/06/2011Shabir Bhimji MD, PhD, Specializing in General Surgery, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Midland, TX.

Whether the sentence what you have done is wrong. is correct or what have you done is wrong. is correct.?
The correct version is"What you have done is wrong". In this form, "What" stands for "The thing that". The alternative "What have you done"... is a question.
Heart bypass surgery - minimally invasive?
DefinitionHeart bypass surgery creates a new route, called a bypass, for blood and oxygen to reach your heart. It helps fix problems caused by coronary artery disease (CAD), in which the arteries that lead to your heart are partly or totally blocked.Minimally invasive coronary (heart) artery bypass can be done without stopping the heart and putting a patient on a heart-lung machine.See also:Coronary bypassAngioplasty and stent placementAlternative NamesMinimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass; MIDCAB; Robot assisted coronary artery bypass; RACAB; Keyhole heart surgeryDescriptionA heart surgeon will make a 3- to 5-inch-long incision (cut) in the left part of your chest between your ribs. This allows the surgeon to reach your heart. Muscles in the area will be pushed apart. A small part of the front of the rib, called the costal cartilage, will be removed. Then the surgeon will find and prepare an artery in your chest to attach to your coronary artery that is blocked.Once the above steps are done, the surgeon will connect the prepared chest artery to your coronary artery that is blocked.You will not need to be on a heart-lung machine for this surgery, but a device will be attached to your heart to slow it down.Why the Procedure Is PerformedCoronary arteries are the small blood vessels that supply your heart with oxygen and nutrients that are carried in your blood.When one or more of the coronary arteries becomes partly or totally blocked, your heart does not get enough blood. This is called ischemic heart disease or coronary artery disease. It can cause chest pain (angina).Coronary artery bypass surgery can be used to treat coronary artery disease. Your doctor may have tried to treat you with medicines only. You may have also tried cardiac rehabilitation.Coronary artery disease varies a lot from person to person, so the way it is diagnosed and treated will also vary. Heart bypass surgery is just one treatment. It will be right for some people, but others may have other kinds of treatment.Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass may be used when only 1 or 2 coronary arteries need a bypass and they are located around the front of the heart.RisksAsk your doctor about risks. In general, problems and complications with minimally invasive coronary artery bypass are lower than with open coronary artery bypass surgery.Risks for any surgery are:Blood clots in the legs that may travel to the lungsBreathing problemsHeart attack or strokeInfection, including in the lungs, urinary tract, and chestBlood lossPossible risks with having coronary bypass are:Some people report memory loss and loss of mental clarity or "fuzzy thinking." This is less common in people who have minimally invasive coronary artery bypass than in people who have open coronary bypass.Heart rhythm problems (arrhythmia)Sternal (chest) wound infection, which is more likely to happen in people who are obese, have diabetes, or have already had coronary bypass surgeryPostpericardiotomy syndrome, a low-grade fever, and chest pain that can last up to 6 monthsBefore the ProcedureAlways tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs or herbs you bought without a prescription.During the days before the surgery:For the 2-week period before surgery you may be asked to stop taking drugs that make it harder for your blood to clot. These might cause increased bleeding during the surgery. They include aspirin, ibuprofen (such as Advil and Motrin), naproxen (such as Aleve and Naprosyn), and other similar drugs. If you are taking clopidogrel (Plavix), talk with your surgeon about when to stop taking it.Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of the surgery.If you smoke, try to stop. Ask your doctor for help.Always let your doctor know if you have a cold, flu, fever, herpes breakout, or any other illness.Prepare your home for when you are discharged from the hospital.The day before your surgery:Shower and shampoo well.You may be asked to wash your whole body below your neck with a special soap. Scrub your chest 2 or 3 times with this soap.You also may be asked to take an antibiotic to guard against infection.On the day of the surgery:You will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything after midnight the night before your surgery. This includes chewing gum and using breath mints. Rinse your mouth with water if it feels dry, but be careful not to swallow.Take your drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.After the ProcedureYou may be able to leave the hospital 2 or 3 days after your surgery. You may also be able to return to normal activities after 2 or 3 weeks.OutlookRecovery from surgery takes time, and you may not see the full benefits of your surgery for 3 to 6 months. In most people who have heart bypass surgery, the grafts remain open and working well for many years.This surgery does NOT prevent the coronary artery blockage from coming back. You can do many things to slow it down. Not smoking, eating a heart-healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and treating high blood pressure, high blood sugar (if you have diabetes), and high cholesterol will all help.You may be more likely to have problems with your blood vessels if you have kidney disease or some other medical problems.ReferencesAziz O, Rao C, Panesar SS, Jones C, Morris S, Darzi A, et al.
