The speaker in the video may have no association with ( Dr. Teresa Tsang, Cardiologist Vancouver, BC ). 
( Dr. Teresa Tsang, Cardiologist Vancouver, BC ), may talk about some of the conditions and some of the treatment options shown on the videos. Always talk with your Local Cardiologist at the office about the information you learnt from the videos in regards to treatments and procedures the Local Cardiologist could  perform and if they would be appropriate for you. Remember good information is the corner stone to understanding your condition or disease.

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.

    Dr Tsang listened to me about all my ailments and addressed one at a time. I was on a medicine that I did not need to be on, and Dr Tsang told me to stop it (after being on it for more than 10 years by a different cardiologist). I feel so much better ever since. I feel younger. I have more energy than ever before... Thank you Dr Tsang for your kindness and care.

    Outstanding doctor. She is kind, caring, compassionate, clear, and won the trust and love from my 89 year old mother who looks forward to seeing her each time. My mother does not listen to anyone else. I cannot thank Dr. Tsang enough for taking great care of both my parents.
