Primary prevention of coronary heart disease is to control risk factors, and secondary prevention is to prevent disease progression and improve prognosis through standardized treatment.
Primary prevention of coronary heart disease is mainly aimed at risk groups that may develop coronary heart disease but have not yet done so, and delays the onset of coronary heart disease by controlling various risk factors. This includes risk factors such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood fat, smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, lack of physical activity, high salt and high fat and other irrational diets.
Secondary prevention of coronary heart disease is for people who already suffer from coronary heart disease, through active standardized treatment to alleviate the symptoms of coronary heart disease, prevention and treatment of further progression of the disease, and improve the prognosis. This includes a low-salt and low-fat diet, regular exercise, active control of blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid levels, and regular medication under the guidance of a doctor.
When coronary heart disease is detected, it is necessary to consult a doctor in a timely manner and actively diagnose and treat the disease under the doctor’s guidance.
