With the development of medical science, percutaneous coronary intervention, commonly known as stenting, has become the main treatment for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (coronary heart disease). Currently, 1 million patients with coronary artery disease undergo stenting each year in the United States, and more than 20,000 patients undergo stenting each year in Shanghai. Coronary stenting has become increasingly popular among patients because of its precise efficacy, minimal trauma, and rapid recovery. However, many patients with coronary artery disease who have undergone stenting have many misconceptions about the follow-up treatment after stenting. Some patients usually do not pay enough attention to their coronary heart disease, thinking that their coronary arteries have been implanted with stents, and that the symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain that used to occur frequently have improved, so they think that everything is fine and they do not need to take medicine anymore. This kind of thinking should be corrected. Coronary artery disease is an atherosclerotic lesion that occurs in the blood vessels of the heart, and there are three main blood vessels in the heart, which send out many branch vessels like branches of a tree. At the same time, the places where stents have been implanted may also have restenosis in the stents due to the aggravation of atherosclerotic lesions. Therefore, patients with coronary artery disease must understand that drug therapy is the cornerstone of atherosclerosis improvement, and stenting is only a supplement to drug therapy, and should never put the cart before the horse and use stenting as a substitute for drug therapy. Some patients may also go to the other extreme, that is, they think that their coronary heart disease vascular lesions are very serious, and they have already implanted stents, so they can only rest in the future, and can not do anything. In fact, the treatment of coronary heart disease is similar to that of diabetes, with a strong emphasis on the parallel progress of the troika, i.e., diet control, proper exercise and medication, and complete inactivity is very detrimental to the treatment of coronary heart disease. The first benefit after stent implantation is to improve the quality of life, and you should not be less active after stent implantation than you were before at least. Of course, each patient’s vascular disease is different, as is their cardiac function status, so the amount of activity for each individual should be tailored and individualized. Be sure to consult your primary care physician and ask in detail about the amount of activity you can tolerate based on your specific situation. Regardless, why not maintain a certain amount of activity that will improve your life and treatment while reducing the recurrence of coronary artery disease? Many patients after stent implantation have doubts about a variety of oral medications after surgery, thinking that they do not have hypertension or hyperlipidemia, so why must they take blood pressure and lipid-lowering drugs? In fact, in addition to lowering blood pressure and blood lipids, these drugs also improve and protect cardiovascular blood vessels, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and Beta-blockers among antihypertensive drugs and statins among lipid-lowering drugs, which can soften blood vessels and stabilize plaque, and long-term application can significantly reduce the mortality rate of coronary heart disease, so it is the cornerstone of the drug treatment plan for coronary heart disease, even without hypertension and hyperlipidemia, as long as the blood pressure and blood lipid are not low, these drugs are required to be taken for a long time. To sum up, coronary heart disease is like a road that has collapsed, stent implantation is only a temporary relief, but careful care is essential to keep the road free from new collapses and to keep it open for a long time, so may patients cherish themselves and live a healthy life.
