The treatment of heart disease includes lifestyle changes, medications, procedures, and surgery. Lifestyle changes include a healthy diet, weight loss, smoking cessation, and exercise. Medication can help to decrease you risk of heart attack, and treat your cholesterol and blood pressure. If medications fail, angioplasty and stent may be used to help symptoms, such as chest pain. CABG-coronary bypass surgery is used in patients with multiple blockages. Video courtesy of eMedTV.com
