About Arteriosclerotic Vascular Disease

Arteriosclerotic Vascular Disease, commonly known as atherosclerosis, is a chronic condition where arteries become narrowed and hardened due to the buildup of plaque (fat, cholesterol, and other substances). This restricts blood flow, potentially leading to serious complications like heart attack, stroke, or peripheral artery disease. A cardiologist manages this disease through a comprehensive approach that includes accurate diagnosis via imaging (like angiography), lifestyle modification counseling, medication management, and, when necessary, interventional procedures such as angioplasty or stent placement to restore blood flow. The goal is to halt disease progression, manage symptoms, and significantly reduce the risk of life-threatening cardiovascular events.

Key Highlights

    Comprehensive management to slow or halt disease progression.Reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and limb amputation.Improves blood flow, alleviating symptoms like chest pain (angina) or leg pain.Personalized treatment plan combining lifestyle, medication, and procedures.Utilizes advanced diagnostic imaging for precise assessment of artery health.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Symptoms of angina (chest pain, pressure, or discomfort).
  • Evidence of reduced blood flow to the heart, brain, or limbs on diagnostic tests.
  • History of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke.
  • Diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD) with symptoms like leg pain when walking.
  • High risk for cardiovascular events based on factors like diabetes, high cholesterol, or hypertension.
  • Following a heart attack to treat underlying coronary artery disease.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough medical history review and physical examination with the cardiologist.
  • Undergo necessary diagnostic tests such as blood tests, ECG, stress test, or coronary angiography.
  • Discuss and adjust current medications as directed; may need to stop blood thinners temporarily.
  • Fast for 6-12 hours before any scheduled procedure or surgery.
  • Arrange for transportation home and post-procedure assistance if an intervention is planned.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding or bruising at catheter insertion site (for procedures).
  • Allergic reaction to contrast dye used in imaging.
  • Damage to the blood vessel (dissection or perforation).
  • Blood clot formation, potentially leading to heart attack or stroke.
  • Kidney injury from contrast dye, especially in patients with pre-existing kidney issues.
  • Infection, though rare.
  • Restenosis (re-narrowing of the treated artery) over time.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • For diagnostic angiography: Rest for several hours; avoid strenuous activity for 1-2 days.
  • For angioplasty/stent: Hospital observation for 1-2 days; avoid heavy lifting for about a week.
  • Drink plenty of fluids to help flush contrast dye from the kidneys.
  • Adhere strictly to prescribed medications, including antiplatelets (like aspirin/clopidogrel) to prevent clots.
  • Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor progress and medication efficacy.
  • Implement and maintain crucial lifestyle changes: heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, and stress management.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-2 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-6 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
