Medical Questions
When obtaining a quote, you will be asked several questions. These questions will only take a few moments and will give you an idea of the cost of the policy:
- Have you ever been a smoker?
- How long ago was your Angioplasty performed?
- At any time before your Angioplasty, did you have a Heart Attack?
- Have you ever had any symptoms of Angina (e.g. chest pain, tightness) since your last procedure?
- Have you had a Heart Attack at any time after your Angioplasty?
- How many (if any) coronary stents do you have?
- Can you always walk 200 yards on the flat without shortness of breath?
- Have you been advised to take medication for High Blood Pressure?
- Have you been advised to take medication to lower your Cholesterol Level?
Coronary Angioplasty
This procedure is relatively quick, usually about 30 minutes, although it may take longer depending on how many arteries need treatment.
After the procedure, the artery must be checked to see if it has been widened enough for the blood to flow more freely. This is done by monitoring a small amount of dye as it flows through the artery.
If the procedure is straightforward, you should be able to go home the same day, but sometimes an overnight stay is required. You will be advised not to drive or fly for a week after the procedure.
Following the Angioplasty, most people will require further treatment with blood-thinning medication for up to a year.
Coronary Angioplasties are often used as an emergency treatment after a Heart Attack.
