  • Are there any supplements recommended after bypass surgery?

  • I do not eat oily food at all and do yoga everyday. I still have a block in my heart. Why?

    Heart disease occurs for many reasons including diet, exercise and lifestyle but genetics is often dominant and may not be impacted by the things you are doing. Leading a healthy lifestyle still reduces the risk of heart disease even when there is genetics working against you. If you did not do the things you did, you may have ended up with even more blockages at an even younger age. READ MORE

  • What is a right bundle branch block? Is it something serious?

    This means the electricity flows at a slower speed from one side of the hearts electrical system. If this is new, it may need an assessment but can often occur in healthy individuals. READ MORE

  • What is the difference between an angioplasty and a by-pass surgery?

    Bypass surgery is usually an open heart surgical procedure, although some can be done through "minimally Invasive" or "keyhole" surgery. It is often done for more advanced blockages, particularly if multiple arteries are involved or if the heart is weak. Angioplasty, Stent or PCI all mean that it is a procedure done with catheters rather than an open surgery. It is used most often for single blockages where medications have been inadequate to control chest pains. Which is best suited is dependent on the extent of blockages and what other medical conditions the individual may have and is a case by case decision and best advised by the person who did the angiogram Cardiac catheterization procedure that found the blockage.
