Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is surgery always necessary for coronary artery disease?
A: Not always. Many cases are successfully managed through medication and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is recommended when the risk of myocardial infarction is high or when symptoms severely impact the patient's quality of life.
Q: What symptoms mandate an urgent visit to a cardiologist?
A: Persistent chest pain, sudden dyspnea (shortness of breath), irregular palpitations, or unexplained swelling in the lower extremities are critical warning signs.
Q: How can I effectively prevent heart disease?
A: The cornerstones of prevention include smoking cessation, regular aerobic exercise, strict control of blood sugar and blood pressure levels, and maintaining a balanced, nutrient-dense diet.
