A stitch in time saves nine
Any chest pain should not be ignored and delayed. Seek immediate help in the Emergency Department of a hospital that is offering 24/7 primary angioplasty (PCI) service.
Coronary arteries are the blood vessels which supply blood and oxygen to heart. Atherosclerosis is a condition where these arteries get thickened due to accumulation of calcium and fatty materials such as cholesterol and triglyceride. Heart diseases resulting from atherosclerosis of coronary arteries may lead to lack of oxygen supply to heart with consequent chest pain.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known as coronary angioplasty or simply angioplasty, is a non-surgical procedure which is used to treat the stenotic (narrowed) coronary arteries of the heart as found in coronary heart disease. PCI has proven to be equally effective and less costly than heart surgeries like CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) in patients with medically refractory myocardial ischemia, a condition when blood flow to the heart muscle is decreased by a partial or complete blockage of heart’s arteries.
Primary angioplasty (PCI) facilities are available 24/7 at Apollo Hospitals Dhaka and expert Interventional Cardiologists are performing PCI saving lives. Do not delay in seeking care when you or your near and dear ones have chest pain. It might be fatal unless you pay due attention!
