  1. HOW TO CARE FOR PATIENTS AFTER ANGIOPLASTY/STENTING PROCEDURE

  2. A procedure through which narrowed or blocked vessels of the heart are opened is called an Angioplasty or stenting procedure. In this process, a small tube known as a stent is placed in the heart’s blood vessel to hold the tubes open. It helps to keep the blood flowing to the heart muscle and prevent any serious problems. If you are facing some issues related to heart or blocked arteries then consult the best angioplasty surgeon in Noida.

  3. How to Take Care After an Angioplasty Procedure? Patients usually stay for a day or two in the hospital after the angioplasty procedure. The patients can go back to their routine within a week of the surgery. However, after the surgery, you are not allowed to drive, lift heavy objects, and push or pull.

  4. What You Should Ask After Angioplasty? • Several questions may arise in your mind after the angioplasty procedure such as: • To whom do I have to call if at home I face some issue? • When should I start taking the medicines? • For how long will I have to take medicine? • What should I eat after the procedure? • By doing what I can reduce further heart problems? • When and how do I resume my regular activities? • Once the angioplasty procedure is done, patients may be in a dilemma and want answers to their questions. So, let’s find solutions for them.

  5. What To Eat After Angioplasty/Stenting Procedure? • It is important to take a healthy diet after angioplasty. The highly nutritious food helps to heal your body, decrease the risk of complications, and enable a better recovery. The risk of plaque building in your arteries also gets reduced by eating healthy food. • Eat high protein diet-meat, eggs, legumes, nuts, tofu, fish, etc., to make your heart healthy. • Decrease the intake of salt to maintain blood pressure and prevent fluid retention. • Do not eat sugary food items as it will increase your weight. • Prefer low-fat dairy products and intake a small amount of healthy fat such as seeds, avocado, oily fish, etc. • Keep yourself hydrated as much as possible but not by drinking packed sugary soft drinks or alcohol.

  6. What Medications Will I Need to Take After Angioplasty? • The doctors will put you on medications after the angioplasty procedure for some days to lower the risk of complications and further cardiac problems. • Antiplatelets are medicines that help to stop the formation of blood clots inside the stent and prevent heart attack, stroke, or other heart issues. • Statins are lipid-lowering medications that control cholesterol levels in the blood and decrease the risk of blood vessel diseases, stroke, and heart attack. • Blood pressure medications are necessary to maintain high blood pressure as well as prevent heart attack and angina.
