 * There are a few ways to treat heart diseases.

__Self-Care at Home__ **


 * If you think you are having a heart attack, seek help immediately
 * If you have regular-strength or baby aspirin available, chew and swallow 1 regular aspirin or 2 baby aspirins.
 * The, aspirin may help maintain blood flow through a clot-filled artery.
 * By inhibiting blood clotting, so it helps maintain your blood.

**Medical Treatment**

General treatment measures include the following: __Medication__
 * Oxygen through a tube in the nose or face mask
 * Nitroglycerin under the tongue
 * Pain medicines (morphine or meperidine)
 * If more than 6 hours has passed since the onset of chest pain, these drugs are less helpful.
 * And then drugs are given before the surgery.

If you have a heart disease this medicine is needed:
 * Heparin: Which may be given after a heart attack, which does not remove an existing disease, but it reduces the tendency of blood to unflow in the coronary arteries.
 * Beta-blockers: medications that decrease the heart rate and blood pressure. This reduces the heart's workload and thus the amount of oxygen it needs.
 * Intravenous: (IV) improve blood flow to the heart muscle by relaxing (dilating) the coronary arteries and increasing blood flow.

__Surgery__

There are few surgery are used:


 * If many colonial artery's are blocked, they use Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, it is suggessted when, left arteries are completely blockd. This is an open heart surgery, help's it to un-block it.
 * Off-pump bypass surgery: It is same with CABG, but just without out a pump because the heart continues to beat during surgery. This type of surgery has even fewer complications than the standard procedure but is not always dangeuous.
 * Minimally invasive coronary bypass: If just the front or the right coronary artery needs bypass, this surgery is performed.


 * QUIZ:** What will you do when a friend nearby had a heart disease, and nobody was around? Exclude calling the ambulence and going to the hospital.
