Coronary Artery Disease Treatment in India

Coronary artery disease treatment depends on the severity and location of artery narrowing, symptoms, heart function, diabetes and other health conditions. Management may include medicines, angioplasty with stents or coronary artery bypass surgery.

About Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when the arteries supplying the heart become narrowed or blocked, usually because of atherosclerosis. It can cause chest pain, breathlessness and heart attacks. The extent and pattern of disease help determine whether medicines, PCI or bypass surgery is appropriate.

Important factors in treatment planning

  • Anatomy of blockages
  • Heart function and diabetes

Common signs and symptoms

  • Chest pain — Angina can occur when heart muscle does not receive enough blood.
  • Breathlessness — Reduced blood flow can cause breathlessness or reduced exercise capacity.

How Is Coronary Artery Disease Diagnosed?

Assessment may include ECG, echocardiography, blood tests, stress testing, coronary CT angiography and invasive coronary angiography depending on symptoms and clinical risk.

Coronary Artery Disease Treatment Cost in India

The total cost of coronary artery disease treatment in India depends on the diagnosis and combination of treatments required. A final estimate should be based on specialist review of medical records.

What affects treatment cost?

  • Number/complexity of blockages
  • stent number/type
  • PCI vs CABG
  • graft number
  • ICU/hospital stay

All costs are indicative only. Final treatment cost depends on the confirmed diagnosis, treatment plan, implant/drug choice, hospital requirements and complications.

How Long Will Coronary Artery Disease Treatment Take?

Many angioplasty procedures require only a short hospital stay. CABG generally requires several days in hospital followed by a longer recovery period before international travel.

  1. 1

    Angioplasty / PCI

    Many uncomplicated PCI procedures involve a short hospital stay and rapid recovery.

  2. 2

    CABG

    Bypass surgery typically requires several days in hospital and a longer recovery before international travel.

Planning Your Stay

  1. Specialist review
  2. Treatment plan
  3. Expected hospital stay
  4. Recovery
  5. Safe travel
  6. Follow-up at home

Knowing the expected treatment schedule before travelling helps patients from Ethiopia, Uganda and other countries plan accommodation, travel and time away from home.
