Treatment Options
People with a silent heart attack might have coronary artery disease. There are many treatment options for this condition. They are basically the same as those for patients with other forms of heart attacks. Medications can help prevent further attacks and improve the conditions to avoid heart failure in the future. Surgery might be needed as well to deal with damaged heart muscles. However, a common challenge is that it can be hard to know which choice is better due to the absence of symptoms. In addition to standard treatments for a heart attack, people with a silent type might need additional procedures based on the results of a stress test. [5]
