Coronary heart disease, i.e. coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, is a disease in which the lumen of the blood vessel is narrowed due to atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, thus causing myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. The heart ultrasound can see the structure of the heart and the movement of the ventricular wall, but also can evaluate the myocardial contraction and diastolic function, but can not see whether the coronary artery is narrowed, so through the heart ultrasound can not see the coronary heart disease.
Patients with coronary artery disease often have symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, chest pain, etc. If you suspect that you have coronary artery disease, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out coronary artery angiography, coronary artery CT examination, etc., which can clearly observe whether atherosclerosis occurs in the coronary arteries as well as the location of the lesions, of which coronary artery angiography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
Patients should choose the appropriate examination program according to their own conditions under the guidance of professional doctors to clearly diagnose the disease and follow the doctor’s instructions for active treatment.
