Asthenia can afflict both genders at any age, but is more common in children. Pregnant women with the condition can pass it on to an unborn child. The motherâs antibodies might attack the fetus, which then becomes paralyzed and unable to move in the womb.
Angiogram tests and angioplasty procedures are performed in special hospital rooms called cardiac cath labs. In this video, Dr. John P. Reilly gives you a guided tour of the cath lab, pointing out the equipment youâll see and explaining what itâs for.
Your doctor would recommend you to undergo an angioplasty if: 1  You suffer from chest pain or shortness of breath due to CAD and medicines have failed to help. 2  You have significant blockage in one or maximum two coronary arteries. 3  You underwent heart bypass and the graft is now closed or blocked.
