How to Determine Cervical Heart Syndrome

Patients with carotid heart syndrome are usually older, with a series of symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the basilar artery, as well as angina pectoris, and need to be careful to distinguish from coronary artery disease under the guidance of a doctor. Patients with cervical heart syndrome are more likely to be middle-aged or older, mostly over the age of 50, and present with angina pectoris, arrhythmia, and high blood pressure. Most patients present with symptoms of inadequate blood supply to the basilar artery, such as vertigo. The pain in the precordial region is similar to angina pectoris caused by coronary artery disease, which can be identified by electrocardiogram and treatment with antianginal medication. The pain lasts for a longer period of time, usually more than half an hour, and can be aggravated by neck movement. The diagnosis of cervicocardiac syndrome requires cervical X-ray, CT, and MRI, and the most common clinical treatments are orthopedic repositioning maneuvers and traction to relieve compression and symptoms. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can also be used to eliminate localized edema and reduce pain. Commonly used are celecoxib and ibuprofen. The use of medication should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be used without authorization.
