Intervention to place a stent after a heart attack is a way to treat the disease, but what the five-year survival rate is varies from person to person, and the success of the procedure cannot be judged by the five-year survival rate. As long as the procedure is appropriate and the disease improves after the procedure and the body is properly cared for, normal life expectancy is usually not affected.
Myocardial infarction, or heart attack for short. Acute myocardial infarction is myocardial necrosis caused by acute and persistent ischemia and hypoxia of the coronary arteries. Clinically, there are mostly severe and persistent retrosternal pain, which cannot be completely relieved by rest and nitrate drugs, accompanied by increased serum myocardial enzyme activity and progressive electrocardiographic changes, which can be complicated by cardiac arrhythmia, shock, or heart failure, and can often be life-threatening.
The treatment of myocardial infarction is mainly reperfusion therapy, which also includes antiplatelet therapy, intensive lipid modulation therapy, as well as anticoagulation, anti-ischemia and prevention of myocardial remodeling.
Patients are advised to consult a specialized cardiology department in a timely manner and follow the treatment prescribed by the doctor.
