The patient should also complete relevant tests, such as an 18-lead electrocardiogram and myocardial enzymology, and should limit physical activity for at least six months. Thirdly, medication should be given to improve the myocardial energy metabolism, such as sodium creatine phosphate, coenzyme complex, coenzyme Q10, etc. Fourth, supplementation of water-soluble vitamins, such as injectable vitamin C.
