When it comes to the health of such an organ as the heart, it is not worth risking life and turning to unverified specialists. That is why treatment of ischemia in Israel is the optimal choice for patients from the former CIS countries. The Top Ichilov clinic is one of the best in the country, 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 colossal amounts on studying heart pathologies and improving therapy techniques. For example, the cardiology department at the Top Ichilov Medical Center serves as a benchmark and model for many medical institutions in developed European countries.

- A physician-developed exercise program aimed at reducing excess weight;

Medication therapy is necessary to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, improve metabolic processes in the heart, and dilate blood vessels. However, at the Top Ichilov clinic, treatment is not limited to medication alone; 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 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 with a catheter and eliminates the cause of vessel obstruction. Most often, after the vessel is widened, a stent is placed at the site of the former narrowing to prevent the artery from
