Treatment Options
Medication, cardiac catheterisation and heart surgery
The treatment of heart disease is based on three pillars: Medical therapy, catheter procedures and open-heart surgery. You can find out more about them here.
Medicines for the heart
Medical therapy for heart disease requires careful adaptation both to the disease and to the patient.
Cardiac catheterisation steps
A stent is often used to treat coronary heart disease. This procedure allows for a less invasive approach.
Heart surgery
Bypass surgery involves bypassing a diseased coronary vessel. This procedure is an alternative to cardiac catheterisation.
Cardiac catheter
One of the treatment options for heart disease is cardiac catheterisation. In this procedure, a thin tube is inserted into the heart via a large blood vessel.
