When it comes to the health of an organ like the heart, it is not worth risking life by consulting unverified specialists. That is why treatment for ischemia in Israel is the optimal choice for patients from the former CIS countries. Top Ichilov Clinic — one of the best in the country — is equipped with the most modern equipment, and the staff of the medical center is composed of the best medical professionals in the country.

Israeli clinics spend enormous resources on studying heart pathologies and improving therapy techniques. For example, at Top Ichilov Medical Center, the cardiology department serves as a benchmark and a model for many medical institutions in developed European countries.

Modern Treatment of Ischemia in Israel

Treatment of ischemic heart disease in Israel will not yield positive results if preventive measures are not included in the therapy, such as:

• A physician-developed exercise program aimed at reducing excess weight;
• Complete abstinence from alcohol;
• Quitting smoking.

Medication therapy is necessary to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, improve metabolic processes in the heart, and dilate blood vessels. However, today at Top Ichilov Clinic, treatment is not limited to medication; the medical center successfully employs surgeries such as coronary artery bypass grafting and angioplasty.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is recognized as the best method for overcoming blockages in the coronary arteries. During the surgical intervention, bypassing the obstructed part of the artery is performed using blood vessels from the arm, chest, or leg vein. The advantage of CABG lies in its high effectiveness with minimal side effects and complications.

Coronary angioplasty allows access to the site of arterial blockage using a catheter and eliminates the cause of vessel obstruction. Most often, after the vessel is expanded, a stent is placed at the site of the former narrowing to prevent the artery's lumen from closing again.

Cost of treatment for ischemia in Israel at Top Ichilov Clinic depends on the chosen therapy method.

Ischemic Heart Disease: Diagnosis

Effective treatment of ischemic heart disease in Israel is impossible without revealing an accurate picture of the disease. Before starting therapy, patients at Top Ichilov Clinic undergo basic diagnostics, which include the following procedures:

• Comprehensive blood tests: general, biochemistry, coagulation, lipids, electrolytes;
• Diagnostic coronary angiography;
• Consultation with a cardiac surgeon and cardiologist;
• Stress echocardiography;
• 24-hour Holter monitoring.
