Dyslipidemic syndrome. Treatment of this metabolic syndrome usually involves treating underlying causes, such as weight problems and physical inactivity. Physicians typically recommend lifestyle changes such as weight loss and increased physical activity. When lipid levels remain abnormal despite lifestyle therapies, physicians may prescribe antihypertensive therapy to treat high blood pressure, prescribe aspirin for people with CHD to reduce the formation of clots that may cause angina or heart attack, and treat elevated triglycerides and low HDL levels with medical therapies.
Emergency Care
In the event of an emergency during or after office hours, contact your local rescue service ( 911 ) or go to the nearest emergency room*.
Electrocardiogram
Many arrhythmias occur infrequently, so to record the heart's electrical activity under real-world conditions, physicians use continuous monitor recording, also called ambulatory electrocardiography.
Embolization is well known for controlling postpartum hemorrhage (bleeding after childbirth) but also treats a spectrum of conditions, such as severe internal bleeding, liver cancer, and vascular malformations.

Echocardiography uses ultrasound waves to produce an image of the heart's structure and function, to measure the blood pressure inside the heart, and to measure the direction and speed of blood flow.
MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Other pre-treatment guidelines vary depending on the type of embolization required but may include...
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) combines computerized tomographic (CT) scanning (sometimes call CAT scan) with dye that is injected to diagnose narrowing in the coronary arteries, which feed the heart.
Chemotherapy
The goal of heart failure therapy is to lessen the effect of heart failure symptoms and to keep people with the condition out of the hospital. Heart failure caused by valve disease, toxins such as drugs used in chemotherapy, or congenital heart defects is often reversible. People with heart failure caused by permanently damaged or weakened heart muscle, however, require long-term lifestyle modification and medication.
