❤️ How Do Stents Help the Heart?
When the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup, the heart may not receive enough oxygen-rich blood. This can lead to chest pain, shortness of breath, heart attacks, and other serious complications.
🩺 What Does a Stent Do?
✔️ Reopens narrowed or blocked arteries
✔️ Restores healthy blood flow to the heart
✔️ Reduces symptoms like chest pain (angina)
✔️ Helps prevent further heart damage
✔️ Improves overall heart function and quality of life
A stent is a small mesh tube placed inside a blocked artery during an angioplasty procedure. It acts as a support structure to keep the artery open and ensure smooth blood flow.
⚠️ Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
• Chest pain or pressure
• Shortness of breath
• Excessive sweating
• Dizziness or fainting
• Pain radiating to the arm, neck, or jaw
❤️ Early diagnosis and timely intervention can save lives.
