Cardiac Blockage, Is It 1 Dangerous Thing & Need Surgery?
Cardiac blockage is the event of narrowing of the heart’s blood vessels or atherosclerosis in which the heart’s blood vessels narrow due to the buildup of fat or plaque. The buildup of plaque causes blood flow and oxygen supply to vital organs to be blocked, resulting in complications that are dangerous for the body.
The cause of blockage of heart blood vessels is generally due to high levels of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol is a complex fat compound that is naturally produced by the body and is beneficial for the formation of cell walls and hormones. Two-thirds of cholesterol is produced by the liver (liver), another third is obtained directly from food. Cholesterol is circulated in the blood through molecules called lipoproteins. There are two types of lipoproteins, namely low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Cholesterol is actually needed by the body, but unfortunately if the amount is excessive, it will risk inhibiting blood circulation.
Cardiac blockage does not show any immediately identifiable symptoms. However, if you are careful, the symptoms are almost similar to other heart diseases. If these symptoms are left untreated for too long, it will cause heart disease or heart attacks that can be life-threatening.
Symptoms of cardiac blockage or atherosclerosis
Broadly speaking, the symptoms are as follows
- Pain in chest
- Pain in the legs, arms, and other parts of the body where the blood vessels are blocked
- Shortness of breath or shortness of breath
- Chronic fatigue
- Confusion and decreased thinking ability, which occurs when the blockage affects blood circulation to the brain
- Leg muscle weakness due to lack of blood circulation.
What If Cardiac Blockage Has Been Detected?
If you have detected a constriction of the heart the first step you have to do is to inhibit or stop the buildup of plaque in the heart’s blood vessels. Although it requires long-term treatment, there are several ways that are believed to help prevent symptoms of heart blockage from getting worse. Not all symptoms of heart block require surgery, especially if the percentage of heart blockage you have is still in low limits, you can start in the following way:
Healthy Lifestyle with Exercise & Food
Lifestyle changes include a healthy diet, exercise, and not smoking and not consuming alcohol. Although it will not completely remove the blockage, this method has been shown to reduce the worst risk of atherosclerosis, namely stroke and heart attack.
Taking Drugs & Supporting Supplements
Taking drugs to treat high cholesterol and hypertension can help slow down and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. Before using this drug, first consult with your doctor to find out the right dose for you.
When Cardiac Blockage Is Severe
So, what if the percentage of heart blockage is already high?
You may start considering surgery out of concern that the blockage will get worse. In addition, the intensity of the pain experienced will be more frequent if the blockage is higher. There are times when the doctor will suggest an angioplasty. In this procedure, the doctor will insert a thin tube into the blocked heart blood vessel so that blood flow is no longer blocked.
In addition to angioplasty, there is also a heart bypass; it is often performed to treat atherosclerosis. The doctor will take your healthy blood vessels, usually in the legs or chest, and use them to pass through the blocked blood vessels
But all the alternatives mentioned above, often some people are afraid to do it because it involves a surgical procedure. There is also a fear if the operation is not successful.
Ozone Therapy & EECP as an Alternative to Cardiac Blockage
For 20 years, Chai Natural Clinic has experience in treating patients from all walks of life and ages, especially those with heart disease. The method offered by Chai Natural Clinic is to clean the blood flowing in the body with the ozone filtration technique or EBOO. This method has been recognized as an effective method of breaking down plaque and filtering it out of the body as waste/residue.
After the blood is cleaned, the patient will be treated using a high-tech machine that specifically helps the heart to pump better. This machine is known as EECP. In America, the use of EECP has been recognized as a technique for treating heart disease without surgery. This treatment is conducted through three pairs of external inflatable cuffs that are applied around the lower legs, upper legs and buttocks.
More than 90% of patients treated using these two methods experienced improved quality of life, as well as relief from pain and tightness previously experienced by patients. EECP significantly helps to reduce resting heart rate. and also been shown to be of benefit for patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, systolic or diastolic dysfunction.
