Coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction usually occurs in men over the age of 55, women over the age of 65, people with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, and those who smoke, live a sedentary lifestyle and have a family history of coronary artery disease. These are all the risk factors that do not tend to show symptoms in the early stage.
However, if patients begin to experience chest pain or chest tightness as if something is pressing on the chest, feeling fatigued, having shortness of breath, dizziness, or even unconsciousness, it could be as severe as cardiac arrest, that would mean that the arteries are more than 50% blocked. So, screening for abnormalities or checking the function of the coronary arteries in people with risk factors can detect the disease early on and make treatment less complicated.

If your heart beats slow or fast or you have heart palpitations, fluttering, pain or tightness in the chest, or feel like you’re about to faint, you may have symptoms of heart arrhythmia.
Heart arrhythmia raises the possibilities of blood clots in the arteries. Leaving heart arrhythmia untreated for a long time may pose a risk of heart failure or stroke, which may lead to a life-threatening condition.
Heart arrhythmia can be permanently cured with the help of radiofrequency ablation. In this procedure, the doctor sends high-frequency radio waves into the heart by inserting a catheter into the blood vessels and release electric waves to restore normal heart rhythm.
This procedure yields 98% success rate of permanent cure without having to take lifetime-medications. It also allows the patients to live their everyday lives without having to worry about heart arrhythmia.
