Heart diseases are the number one killer of women and men. Although the statistics are staggering, new treatments and prevention techniques are being studied and applied every day. Even if you are a young, healthy person with no signs of heart disease, there are lifestyle changes you can make today to prevent heart disease tomorrow.
For patients who have already developed heart disease, medications to help with blood flow through the arteries are prescribed. These may include beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and statins.
Nonsurgical and surgical heart disease approaches may include balloon angioplasty, bypass graft surgery or electrophysiologic devices (pacemakers).
The prevalence of heart disease has led to a large number of research studies. Among these studies, investigators are looking at heart disease drug therapies and developing new surgical techniques.
