After a heart attack is cured, there may also be sequelae.
Heart disease refers to a group of circulatory diseases that affect the normal functioning of the heart, including heart failure, coronary artery disease, pericardial disease, cardiomyopathy and some heart valve diseases, etc. The sequelae of different types of heart disease are different, as follows.
For example, pericardial disease may leave behind chronic constrictive pericarditis, which affects the diastolic function of the heart; myocarditis may leave behind dilated cardiomyopathy; and heart valve disease may leave behind conditions such as arrhythmia and embolism. While heart failure and coronary heart disease are generally difficult to be completely cured, active treatment can control the development of the disease and prolong the patient’s life.
It is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize treatment, and consult the attending physician for specific issues related to the condition.
