When is angioplasty done, a stent placed?
During a heart attack, the flow of blood to the heart is severely reduced or blocked. An angioplasty is a procedure used to increase the flow of blood through a narrowed artery, per Health Direct. Stents are small and expandable tubes inserted permanently in the artery of a person during angioplasty. Thus, angioplasty is the process where a stent is sometimes used.
Multiple celebrities have suffered heart attacks in recent years
Sen has now joined the increasing list of young, middle-aged celebrities who have suffered heart attacks in the last couple of years. Experts suggest performing high-intensity or wrong exercises without proper knowledge can put people at risk. Other causes might include having diabetes or being obese, pre-existing blood pressure issues, having a bad lifestyle, or using drugs or anabolic steroids.
