Coronary heart disease is short for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, also known as ischemic heart disease, which predisposes to myocardial infarction and sudden death. The morbidity and mortality rate of coronary heart disease is relatively high, which seriously endangers the health of human beings. With the development of China’s economy and the improvement of cultural level, the incidence of coronary heart disease shows a trend of increasing year by year, mastering some common sense will help you better prevent and treat coronary heart disease. 1. chest tightness, chest pain is not always coronary heart disease. Chest tightness and chest pain is one of the typical symptoms of coronary heart disease, but it can still be seen in other diseases, such as lung disease, liver and gallbladder disease, gastrointestinal disease, etc. In addition, anxiety and depression caused by tension, stress and exertion, as well as functional diseases such as menopause syndrome can also cause chest tightness and chest pain. The initial diagnosis of coronary heart disease depends not only on whether the symptoms match, but also on whether there are high-risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, age, and lifestyle habits. And to confirm the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, we need to go through ECG, echocardiography, coronary artery spiral CT scan and coronary angiography and other related examinations. 2. The best treatment is prevention Although drugs, stents and coronary artery bypass grafting are more mature and effective from the perspective of treatment, these treatments are only used as a remedial measure. For coronary heart disease, the best treatment is prevention. Especially for those patients with high risk factors, early prevention is very beneficial to reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease. In addition to a proper diet, moderate exercise, and the cessation of tobacco and alcohol addiction, these preventive measures also require regular medical checkups and timely drug prevention programs provided by cardiovascular physicians. Not all patients with coronary artery disease need interventional or bridging surgery. Drugs, interventional stents and coronary artery bypass surgery have been described as the “troika” of coronary artery disease treatment. However, not all coronary patients require stenting or surgical treatment. Both treatment options have their own advantages and disadvantages, and physicians will help patients get the most benefit at the least cost, based on a strict selection of indications for each. Coronary stent implantation or coronary artery bridging surgery is not the end of the story. Both stent implantation and coronary artery bridging surgery can only solve the problem of coronary stenosis that has already occurred. As the disease progresses, stenosis may reappear in areas that were not previously present or were less severe. Moreover, both the problem of restenosis after stent implantation and the problem of stenosis and blockage of bridge vessels after bridging surgery are also problems that need to be faced. Therefore, all is not lost after coronary stent implantation or coronary bridging surgery. Every patient after the surgery should do a good job to prevent coronary heart disease, change bad habits, and insist on oral antiplatelet drugs and lipid regulating drugs for long-term treatment. 5. Coronary artery bridging surgery has a high success rate and safety Many patients think that surgical procedures have great risks because of their large trauma and long incisions. In fact, the treatment risk of both stent implantation and coronary artery bridging surgery is mainly related to the extent of diseased vessels, preoperative cardiac function status, function of each organ and the degree of recanalization. Coronary artery bridging began in the 1960s and has developed rapidly in China despite its late start. At present, the operation has a high success rate and safety for both general patients and some patients with poor cardiac function and serious comorbidities. 6. Coronary restenosis after stent implantation can be done by bypass surgery There is a certain rate of restenosis after percutaneous angioplasty for coronary artery disease. For these patients with restenosis after surgery, some of them need to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery. Therefore, patients should seek early medical consultation once the symptoms of coronary heart disease appear again to avoid myocardial infarction, sudden death and other cardiovascular accidents. 7. winter and spring coronary heart patients need to pay extra attention to winter and spring, cold weather, rapid temperature changes, susceptible to respiratory diseases, this season is often a high risk of heart attack. Especially near the Spring Festival, factors such as uncontrolled diet and untimely rest are more likely to induce cardiovascular diseases, especially leading to acute myocardial infarction. Therefore, in this season, heart patients should do a good job of keeping warm, moderate diet, pay attention to rest, coronary heart patients should not do morning exercises in the winter when it is cold, but should do moderate exercise after the weather becomes warmer. If there is discomfort, you should seek medical attention in time.
