How to Cure a Heart Attack with Modern Medicine
Ask how to cure a heart attack with modern medicine, and physicians will detail several treatments. Some involve medications, while others require invasive procedures.
Medications are used immediately in a heart attack. The first goal is to break up or prevent blood clots. Additional goals are to stabilize plaque, and keep blood platelets from congregating and sticking to plaque. Of course, it is hoped that the medications will prevent additional trouble. In order to reduce damage to the heart, physicians must administer these medications within 30 minutes from the time the heart attack symptoms began. Medications given may include any combination of aspirin, heparin, so-called clot busters, and other anti-platelet drugs.
Once these medications are given, modern medicine serves up additional drugs to lessen your heart's work and reduce your pain.
Procedures may begin before the heart attack has ended. The cardiologist may order catheterization to determine the heart attack's cause and assess damage. He may use balloon angioplasty to open a blocked artery, and place a stent to keep it open.
In severe cases of blockage, the cardiologist may perform emergency coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
In recent years, studies have shown that much of this is unnecessary and should not be done. A "wait-and-see" approach has been proven more satisfactory after initial medication.
How to REALLY Cure a Heart Attack with VERY Modern Medicine
In 2004, an Israeli team created what they termed a biological "scaffold" to implant in pigs. They found that the scaffold allowed healthy, injectable heart muscle cells to replace cells that died as a result of a heart attack. The process is known as tissue engineering.
