Hur botas kärlkramp?
Vid kärlkramp ges blodproppsförebyggande läkemedel som minskar blodplättarnas tendens att klumpa ihop sig, betablockerare som minskar hjärtmuskelns syrebehov genom att sänka blodtrycket och dämpa hjärtrytmen samt ibland även ett kärlvidgande läkemedel som kallas kalciumantagonist.

Läkemedlet gör också att du får mindre ont, blir mindre andfådd och mindre trött. Du får även andra läkemedel som till exempel nitroglycerin.
