Each has benefits and possible side effects, and not every medicine is right for every patient. Do not start or stop aspirin or any heart medicine without talking with your clinician.<\/p><h3>Procedures<\/h3><p>When an artery is severely narrowed, a <a href=\"\/es\/coronary-angioplasty-stent-implant\/\">coronary angioplasty with a stent<\/a> may be discussed. For some people with disease in several arteries, bypass surgery by a heart surgeon is an option.

Results vary from person to person, and no single diet or supplement unclogs arteries.<\/p><h3>My ECG was normal. Can I still have coronary disease?<\/h3><p>Yes. A resting ECG can be normal even when the coronary arteries are narrowed. If you have symptoms or high risk, your clinician may recommend other tests.<\/p><h3>Will I need a stent?<\/h3><p>Not necessarily. Many people with stable coronary disease are treated with medicines and lifestyle changes. Stents are considered when blockages are significant and symptoms or test results support it. Your cardiologist will talk through the options with you.<\/p><h3>Do I need a referral?<\/h3><p>It depends on your insurance plan.
