A local cardiologist can also work with your other healthcare providers, from your local registered dietitian to your local Pilates instructor.Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat, also called an arrhythmia, that can increase your risk of heart failure, stroke, blood clots and other heart conditions. A normal heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat, but if you have atrial fibrillation, the atria (upper chambers) beat out of sync with the ventricles (lower chambers).

During a coronary angioplasty, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery, typically in the groin or wrist, and guided to the blocked or narrowed coronary artery. The catheter is equipped with a deflated balloon at its tip. Once the catheter reaches the target area, the balloon is inflated, which compresses the plaque against the artery walls and widens the artery, restoring blood flow.

In many cases, the angioplasty procedure is followed by the placement of a stent. A stent is a small, mesh-like metal tube that is inserted into the artery  of the heart after the balloon is inflated. The stent helps to keep the artery open and prevents it from re-narrowing. There are two main types of stents: bare-metal stents and drug-eluting stents. Drug-eluting stents are coated with medications that help reduce the risk of the artery re-narrowing.

Coronary angioplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia, and the patient is awake during the procedure. It is considered a minimally invasive procedure and has become a common treatment option for coronary artery disease. It can relieve symptoms such as chest pain (angina) and improve blood flow to the heart, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks and other complications associated with CAD.

    I would like to have a clearer picture of a somewhat realistic life expectancy given my enlarged heart and the improvements achieved since diagnosis several years ago. I realize this information would be quite patient specific, but some discussion of expectations for longevity would be helpful.

    I had an event with my heart and Dr. Steyn was the cardiologist on call so was called in. I am a female only 44 years of age and was not given any definitive answers as to what occurred. I consider myself to be someone who has a high pain tolerance, however I have had constant pain in my chest/lung now for almost three weeks after the event. I have been back to ER on another occasion and still have not received further answers as to what is wrong; all I know is since the day of my heart event I have not been back to my previous health. I did not have a lot of questions at the time, however since have had many and would have found a follow up visit very beneficial. Along with the constant pain in my chest/lung I have had some other symptoms follow that seem to be stroke like which frightens me. I have been to my family physician, however I feel nobody is treating this as urgent as I feel it should be. I am not educated in medicine by any means, however have done some research on my own and I am concerned I have some pulmonary concerns and would like this addressed. I was a very healthy 44 year old who has jogged for many years and would just like to have my health back or at the very least have some answers as to what is occurring or a follow up visit.
