Heart treatment focuses on managing and treating heart conditions and diseases. The treatment options in heart depend on the specific condition a patient has, but they generally fall into several categories:

1. Medications

  • Antihypertensives: Control high blood pressure (e.g., ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers).
  • Antiarrhythmics: Manage heart rhythm disorders (e.g., amiodarone, beta-blockers).
  • Anticoagulants: Prevent blood clots (e.g., warfarin, heparin).
  • Statins: Lower cholesterol (e.g., atorvastatin).
  • Diuretics: Remove excess fluid, often used for heart failure.

2. Lifestyle Changes

  • Diet: Emphasis on heart-healthy diets (e.g., Mediterranean diet, DASH diet).
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity to improve heart health.
  • Smoking cessation and limiting alcohol.
  • Weight management.

3. Surgical Interventions

  • Angioplasty and Stenting: To open narrowed or blocked arteries.
  • Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): To bypass blocked arteries.
  • Pacemaker or Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD): For rhythm disorders.
  • Heart valve surgery: For repairing or replacing damaged heart valves.
  • Heart transplant: For end-stage heart failure.

4. Catheter-Based Procedures

  • Ablation: Used for arrhythmias, where areas of the heart tissue causing abnormal rhythms are destroyed.
  • Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): Minimally invasive valve replacement.

5. Cardiac Rehabilitation

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

6. Preventive Care

  • Early detection of risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
  • Managing stress, and regular monitoring for at-risk individuals.
