Does Every Heart Blockage Require an Angioplasty?
In this informative video, Dr. Gaurav Kavi Bhargava, a leading Cardiologist in Gwalior, breaks down the realities of heart blockages and their treatments. Following an angiography, patients are often concerned by high blockage percentages. However, Dr. Bhargava explains that a significant blockage (70-80% or higher) doesn't always mandate a stent or bypass.
While blockages in the main coronary branches accompanied by symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness, or panic usually require an angioplasty, blockages in smaller, distal branches can frequently be managed safely and effectively with medication alone. He emphasizes the importance of trusting your cardiologist's expertise while reminding patients that it is perfectly acceptable to seek a second opinion if they have time and doubts.
