4. What is the treatment for heart attack or myocardial Infarction?

An emergency angiogram, which is a diagnostic test is performed through a wrist or groin to identify the underlying blockage that leads to the heart attack. Then treated with emergency angioplasty which is a stenting procedure to restore the blood flow and save a person's life. Other treatments include a Thrombolytic agent or clot-dissolving injection given intravenously which will go to blocked areas and dissolve the clot.

Yes, a person who had a heart attack can again go through another heart attack subsequently. It can be prevented with appropriate medication like blood thinners, quitting smoking, and lifestyle changes.

6. What are the lifestyle modifications after a heart attack?

The lifestyle modifications after a heart attack are to adopt a physically active lifestyle, healthy diet management, and follow medications as prescribed by the doctor.

7. How long should the medication be continued?

Medication should be continued for a lifetime for a person who had a heart attack and angioplasty. 
Aspirant, which is a blood thinner is more or less lifelong unless there are specific problems with the medicine, in which case the alternative is advised.

Cholesterol-reducing medication is advised for a lifetime and some medication to prevent subsequent heart attacks is a must and they are lifelong

8. How frequent is the doctor follow-up advised and what tests are to be performed?

In any patient who had a heart attack, regular follow-up is advised one week after discharge, another follow-up after a month of discharge, and subsequently every three months up to one year after one year if the patient is fit enough.

It is a type of physical therapy focused on optimizing physical function in patients with cardiac disease or recent cardiac surgeries. Cardiac rehabilitation aims to rehabilitate the patient into normal life.

10. What are the necessary precautions to be taken after an angioplasty?

Medications such as blood thinners to prevent clotting within the stent and medication to reduce cholesterol deposits which are the main cause of the blockage. So it is important to continue the lifelong medication for diabetes and blood pressure, to prevent heart attacks.

If the patient can manage day-to-day activities at the end of one week after the heart attack, then the patient can drive. 
If the patient is not able to perform daily activities without symptoms, then it is better to avoid driving for six weeks or eight weeks.

After a week or 2 weeks, people can get back to normal sexual activity.
