Synopsis of publication:

The guide is derived from the publication Clinical practice guidelines: the procedural and surgical management of coronary heart disease. It aims to help people with coronary heart disease become involved in making decisions about their treatment by giving information about two types of treatment available.

The booklet explains the part that bypass surgery and angioplasty play in their treatment of coronary heart disease, their likely benefits and possible risks, and how well they work in the short and long term. The booklet does not describe the treatments in detail as there are many sources of this information elsewhere. This booklet aims to complement information provided by health professionals. It may also be useful to relative and friends.
