Treating Coronary Artery Disease: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in Under 2 Hours

Chest discomfort, breathlessness, or feeling unusually tired during simple activities could be early signs of coronary artery disease (CAD). This condition, which can affect people in their 30s and 40s, occurs when cholesterol gradually narrows the heart’s arteries. Dr Paul Chiam, interventional cardiologist at Mount Elizabeth Hospitals, explains that when lifestyle changes and medication aren’t enough, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) offers a solution. Using balloons and stents to open blocked arteries, PCI usually takes under 2 hours, has less than 1% risk, requires only one night in hospital, and most patients return to their routines within 48–72 hours. Recognising these symptoms early can make a critical difference in outcomes. If you or a loved one notice unusual, reduced stamina or chest discomfort, seeking medical advice is important.
