What should be paid attention to after coronary artery bypass surgery? After coronary artery bypass surgery, there is a process of gradual recovery of both cardiac function and the state of the whole body. Due to the degree of coronary artery lesion, cardiac function and physical condition of patients before surgery, the time of postoperative recovery will be different. It usually takes about 6 weeks. During this period, some precautions should be observed, which will help you recover as soon as possible, so as to obtain satisfactory curative effect.
Diet: in the recovery period after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, it is usually necessary to increase the intake of calories, protein and vitamins to promote the recovery as soon as possible. But after that, for patients with coronary heart disease, diet therapy is a long-term task to control hyperlipidemia. Because coronary artery bypass grafting is only for the treatment of myocardial ischemia caused by coronary artery occlusion, not for the treatment of coronary heart disease. Therefore, in terms of diet, attention to control the occurrence of hyperlipidemia is one of the important measures to prevent and slow down coronary artery or postoperative re blockage.
Exercise: at first, you can walk around the room and around the house, holding things when you walk. Then, when you feel no difficulty, you can start walking.
