After coronary artery bypass surgery, the blood supply to the heart is well improved. The next most important treatment is to participate in cardiac rehabilitation program, regular review, control the risk factors of coronary artery disease, learn good lifestyle and diet, and master the right exercise methods to maintain the coronary arteries open, improve and enhance the heart function, and reduce the recurrence of coronary restenosis. For your further recovery, you are reminded that you need to pay attention to the following aspects: Diet: During the recovery period after receiving coronary artery bypass surgery, it is usually necessary to increase the intake of protein and vitamins to promote the recovery as soon as possible after the surgery. However, dietary treatment for patients with coronary artery disease is a long-term task that includes lipid control, and if you also have diabetes, then you must also have stricter dietary control to keep your blood sugar stable. This is because surgery can only treat coronary artery blockages that have already occurred, not prevent the progression of future atherosclerosis. Treatment for the cause of coronary artery disease requires long-term and consistent lifestyle control by the patient himself. Reducing salt intake can prevent or reduce the occurrence of hypertension. Therefore, in terms of diet, pay attention to a light diet and eat less high-fat, high-calorie foods. Exercise: Exercise can improve blood circulation and increase muscle and bone strength. Patients after bypass surgery can initially walk around the room or house, holding on to something while walking. Start walking at a speed and pace that feels comfortable. Later, the pace is gradually increased to increase the heart rate and respiratory rate. In the process of sports and exercise, if chest pain, shortness of breath, asthma and fatigue appear, should immediately stop, wait for the symptoms to disappear, and then continue the activity at a slower pace, gradually, increasing day by day. If you feel symptoms such as sudden loss of heart control or fast beating, dizziness, weakness and irregular pulse, you should contact your doctor in time. Post-operative review: Usually, you should review once a month after surgery. If you have any discomfort and problems during your rest at home, please contact the hospital as soon as possible. Pay attention to wound healing: Generally some numbness, tingling and other sensations around the surgical wound are normal. Usually there will be a wound on the lower extremity of the bypass surgery and there will be swelling of the lower extremity on the operated side in the early postoperative period, which are normal reactions. Under normal circumstances, the swollen lower extremity will be basically relieved after one night of resting flat, but it will be aggravated again in the afternoon or evening. This is the result of the action of gravity. If you feel that the swelling of the lower extremity is more serious, you can pad it up during the day by finding a comfortable place to lie down and padding the swollen lower extremity with a pillow or other soft thing so that it is higher than the heart, which can promote blood flow back. Usually, you should avoid walking or standing too much. If there is redness, pain, running water or even pus in the wound, you should contact your doctor or go to the hospital immediately. If swelling also occurs in the lower extremities that are not open, you should also go to the hospital as soon as possible. Prevention of colds: After discharge from the hospital, you should try to prevent colds by avoiding noise and contact with people who have colds, sore throats and other signs of infection. Avoid going to public places where people gather until your body has fully recovered. Record blood pressure and pulse: Make it a good habit to measure and record your blood pressure and pulse count daily. This is important because these indicators not only reflect the function of your heart, but are vital to the control of your condition! While you are in the hospital, this is done by your doctor or nurse. You can do this yourself when you are discharged home. Get an electronic blood pressure monitor, take your own blood pressure every day, count your pulse (some monitors can measure your heartbeat), get a calendar and write down your results in it. When you go to the hospital for follow-up, it is a good idea to bring your record book with you for your doctor’s reference. Blood sugar control: Diabetes is an important cause of coronary artery disease, and if you have diabetes, you must keep your blood sugar under strict control to ensure a good long-term outcome. Consult an endocrinologist and you will receive comprehensive advice. Follow the instructions of your endocrinologist to control your blood sugar. Finally, you can learn to measure your own blood sugar and record it like you record your blood pressure and heartbeat. Quit smoking: Smoking is another major culprit in coronary heart disease. Quitting smoking is not only good for your heart, but also for your whole body. It is very important that you quit smoking for your health! If you feel that quitting is a bit difficult for you, you can get help at a smoking cessation clinic. According to statistics, the success rate is only 10% if you rely solely on the will of the smoker to quit. But now that medicine has advanced, there are medications that can help you get rid of your dependence on tobacco. So take action, whatever it takes, and quit smoking! Keep an optimistic and open-minded attitude: after the surgery, you have a new life in a sense, you start a new life. According to research, type A personalities are more likely to get coronary heart disease, which means that an impatient, competitive personality is bad for the heart. You don’t have to get worked up about trivial things or dwell on trivial matters. An optimistic and open-minded attitude will not only help you feel better, but also help your blood vessels flow more smoothly! Medication: Patients with coronary artery bypass need to take medication for a long time after surgery to ensure the effect of the surgery. In the process of taking medication, the following points should be noted: 1, to clearly understand the name, role and appearance of the drugs taken. 2.Take the medication regularly and quantitatively according to the doctor’s order. 3. Understand the side effects of the medication and consult your doctor at any time if you are uncomfortable. Do not stop taking the medication or increase or decrease the dose without the doctor’s permission.
