What cards are accepted for heart stent surgery after a stroke?

Hi,

Yes, heart attack treatment, angioplasty (stent placement), and several other cardiac procedures are generally covered under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), provided the patient is eligible and the treatment is done at an Ayushman Bharat empanelled hospital.

What is a Heart Attack?

A heart attack (myocardial infarction) occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked, usually due to a clot or severe narrowing of the coronary arteries. It is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment.

Common Symptoms of a Heart Attack

Seek emergency medical care if you experience:

• Severe chest pain, pressure, or tightness.
• Pain spreading to the left arm, shoulder, back, neck, or jaw.
• Shortness of breath.
• Cold sweating.
• Nausea, vomiting, or dizziness.
• Sudden weakness or unexplained fatigue.

What Is a Heart Stent?

A heart stent is a small metal mesh tube placed inside a blocked coronary artery during angioplasty. It helps restore blood flow to the heart and reduces the risk of future blockages.

Is Angioplasty and Stent Covered Under Ayushman Bharat?

Yes. Under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY), eligible beneficiaries can receive cashless treatment for several heart conditions, including:

• Coronary Angiography
• Coronary Angioplasty (Stent Placement)
• Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
