A stent is generally recommended when the arteries supplying blood to the heart have a significant blockage — often showing up as chest pain, breathlessness, or a heart attack. The right course of action depends on timely testing and a cardiologist's assessment, not guesswork.
Key Points
- • Stents are typically recommended for significant blockages in the coronary arteries
- • Chest pain, breathlessness, or a heart attack are common triggers for evaluation
