Impact of Previous Heart Attack

• A past heart attack can weaken heart muscle, reducing its efficiency.
• Increases risk of future cardiac events and complications.

Understanding Double-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease

• Involves narrowing of two major coronary arteries, affecting blood flow.
• Can lead to symptoms like chest pain and increased risk of heart attack.

Long-Term Health Considerations

• Manage risk factors: blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, lifestyle.
• Uncontrolled, it may lead to heart failure or arrhythmias.

Treatment and Management Options

• Medications: antiplatelets, statins, beta-blockers.
• Lifestyle changes: healthy diet, regular exercise, quit smoking.
• Possible interventions: angioplasty or bypass surgery if needed.

Monitoring and Follow-Up

• Regular check-ups and cardiac evaluations are crucial.
• Seek immediate care for symptoms like severe chest pain or shortness of breath.

Emotional and Psychological Impact

• Heart disease can cause emotional stress; consider support or counseling.
