Do you have a correct understanding of coronary heart disease? Coronary heart disease patients often have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other diseases. Therefore, we must comprehensively consider the situation of the patients and formulate the corresponding targeted and personalized treatment plan in detail. Experts remind that for patients with coronary heart disease, different treatment methods should be selected in different stages according to different conditions.
Prevention of coronary heart disease, abide by the "four disciplines"
Discipline 1: regular reexamination, long-term 'governance' and long-term safety
Patients with myocardial infarction should take medicine according to the doctor's order. Do not stop taking medicine by themselves. If you need to adjust the dosage of the medicine, you must get the doctor's consent and have regular reexamination. Especially after the symptoms of bypass or stent surgery disappear, don't think everything is OK. We must establish the concept of life-long treatment of coronary heart disease, long-term 'treatment' can be long-term peace.
Discipline 2: be alert to unknown chest pain
Angina pectoris is the most common type of coronary heart disease, and myocardial infarction is the most serious type. Some people often have atypical symptoms, such as chest tightness, shortness of breath and tiredness, as well as toothache and neck tightness; the elderly diabetic patients even feel chest tightness without chest pain. Myocardial infarction is caused by acute myocardial ischemia, which is caused by the sharp decrease or interruption of coronary artery blood supply. Patients often have signs of performance, such as days or weeks before the onset of fatigue, chest discomfort, palpitation during activities, anxiety, irritability and so on. The elderly or diabetic patients often have atypical symptoms, which may lead to misdiagnosis. Therefore, we should pay more attention to unknown or atypical chest pain.
Discipline 3: attach importance to self-management
Patients with coronary heart disease should be in a good mood, defecate unobstructed every day, and take drugs regularly and quantitatively. When patients go out, they should take nitroglycerin drugs with them to prevent angina attack.
Discipline 4: calm down during the attack
When patients with coronary heart disease have angina pectoris, they should take immediate rest on the spot to keep calm; at the same time, they should take nitroglycerin, Xiaoxintong, or Suxiaojiuxin pills. If the symptoms are still not relieved, they can take them again. It must be sublingual, not swallowed. Because it can reach the coronary artery quickly through the sublingual small vein directly, and the swallowing needs to be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract to enter the blood again, and the effect is slow. If the pain lasts for more than 30 minutes, seek medical attention immediately.
