How Coronary Artery Disease Is Treated
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a serious condition that can have life-altering complications if it is not treated. Lifestyle changes such as exercise and smoking cessation, which can reverse the disease or slow its progression, are usually recommended. Prescriptions, such as statins and beta blockers; specialized procedures, such as angioplasty; or surgeries, such as coronary artery bypass, may also be necessary, depending on the severity of your disease.
Angioplasty Surgery: Everything You Need to Know
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to open blocked blood vessels that travel to the heart. Also called a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the procedure is often performed after an episode of chest pain or a heart attack and typically involves the placement of a stent.
What High C-Reactive Protein Levels Mean
The liver releases small amounts of C-reactive protein (CRP) to fight infections and inflammation. However, high C-reactive protein levels indicate significant inflammation caused by a health condition. Levels at or above 10 milligrams of protein per deciliter of blood (10 mg/dL) are considered high.
