Heart Failure: A Weakening Heart. Understand Early, Treat Early.
Heart Failure is a condition where the heart cannot function as well as it should. The weakened or declining strength of the heart (Heart Failure) makes activities that are normally easy become much more difficult. However, there are various ways in which patients and doctors can cooperate together to help improve the heart's function.
Cardiac catheterization, balloon angioplasty and stent placement
Coronary artery disease develops when inner layer of coronary arteries, major blood vessels that supply blood, oxygen and nutrients to the heart become damaged. The damage may be caused by various factors including smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and related lifestyles. Once the inner wall of an artery is injured, fatty deposits (known as atherosclerotic plaque) made of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other cellular substances tend to accumulate at the site of injury, called atherosclerosis.
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
During coronary artery bypass graft surgery, a blood vessel is removed or redirected from one area of the body and placed around the area or areas of narrowing to "bypass" the blockages and restore blood flow to the heart muscle.

Cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography
It is an important diagnostic method for treating coronary artery disease, often used when the information obtained from external examination tools is insufficient. The doctor will insert a cardiac catheter, which is a small, thin tube, through the blood vessels in the arm or leg.
