There is no such disease for which we give "shots to the heart." There are many heart diseases treated with pills though.

Kierra, I am not aware of any condition that demands four separate injections directly into the heart each day. It is a very difficult area to inject with any accuracy and the resultant scarring would be detrimental to the health of the heart. It is possible that the required medication may be administered through a cannula in a peripheral vein. There are many drugs that are intended to assist cardiac function that may be administered in this way. During a cardiac arrest manufacturers suggest that adrenaline may be injected directly into the heart through the chest wall if no other route is available (eMC, 2006). This can be a difficult procedure and should only be attempted by a competent clinician and when all other attempts to gain access have failed. There is a technique, useful in complex coronary interventions, wherein timed bilateral contrast injections are given in both coronary arteries. This technique is useful in chronic total occlusions in which the distal coronary vessel is not visualized except by collateral filling via the contralateral artery. ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. - MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED. It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms. The information provided here should not be used during any medical emergency or for the diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition. A licensed physician should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment of any and all medical conditions. Hope this helps matador 89

Due to sever complication ,direct injection medicines to the heart muscle only apply to very rarely situation during life saving cardio-emergency such as to rescue of cardiac arrest.In your friend condition can use iv injection or by month,medicines can reach to the heart easily.In some case the doctor may perform pericardiocentesis(put needle to percardial cavity) to suck fluidout for treatment of pericardititis.,but not inject medicines.
