Treatment Options for Cardiovascular Disease

The video discusses three major heart conditions: coronary heart disease, faulty heart valves, and heart failure. Coronary heart disease is caused by fatty deposits in arteries and can be treated with stents or statins. Faulty heart valves, which can result from heart attacks or aging, may require replacement with biological or mechanical valves. Heart failure, often due to a weak heart, can be addressed with heart transplants, though these come with risks and long recovery times. Artificial hearts serve as temporary solutions while awaiting transplants.
