When will I see the benefits of angioplasty?


The results are usually immediate. The procedure will improve blood flow to your heart. Your chest pain will decrease and you may develop more exercise endurance. However, in order to sustain the benefits of angioplasty, you will need to 1) stop smoking, 2) lower your blood cholesterol 3) decrease your weight if you are obese, 4) control your diabetes/hypertension and 5) exercise regularly. If you remain motivated, you may avoid open-heart surgery in future.
