Here's what can reduce risk of future heart attacks
A new research has shown that patients who have had emergency heart attack treatment with heart artery stenting- and have significant narrowing in their other untreated arteries- can take advantage from additional stenting to help stop future attacks.
The study included 4000 patients, 713 of whom were from UK.
The study shows that further stenting for additional arteries should be the standard treatment for heart attack patients whenever feasible.
A stent is a tiny tube that is inserted into affected, or clogged arteries and expands to keep them open, reducing the chance of further heart attacks by allowing the blood flow more freely.
According to the study, patients who underwent routine additional stenting had a lower risk of further heart attacks or heart -related death- 7.7% versus 10.5% over 5 years.
They also had less than 1/5th the risk of needing further emergency treatment for their heart arteries in the future.
Similar benefits were seen regardless of whether the second procedure was performed as an in-patient or within 6 weeks as an outpatient.
Over 700 UK patients took part in the investigations.
One of the researchers said, we've made huge strides in the treatment of heart attack over the last 20 years with the development of new drugs and new stents continuously improving the effectiveness of heart artery stenting. This study shows that further stenting should be the standard treatment for these patients whenever feasible.
The results of our additional analysis shows that the dominant UK practice of bringing patients back as an outpatient for their 2nd procedure was just as beneficial as performing the 2nd procedure in hospital at the time of the initial hospital admission, since the benefits accrued over many years, he added.
