The risk of myocardial ischemia varies according to the cause of the disease and individual differences. Generally speaking, myocardial ischemia caused by coronary artery disease will progress if left untreated, and acute myocardial infarction or even death can occur in severe cases, which is more terrible; myocardial ischemia caused by coronary artery spasm and myocardial bridges is mostly transient, and generally does not cause severe ischemia and myocardial infarction.
1. greater risk: coronary artery atherosclerosis and stenosis, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the myocardium, the patient can appear chest tightness and chest pain and other symptoms, coronary heart disease generally need early treatment, otherwise the disease will progress, the serious cardiac vascular occlusion can appear acute myocardial infarction or even death.
2. less dangerous: coronary artery spasm, myocardial bridge caused by myocardial ischemia, because of transient spasm of blood vessels or part of the blood vessels walking in the myocardium, transient myocardial ischemia occurs when the heart contraction, generally does not cause very serious ischemia or myocardial infarction and other acute and serious illnesses, generally can be taken orally, such as diltiazem and other drugs to improve the chest tightness and discomfort and other symptoms.
If the patient has symptoms of myocardial ischemia such as chest tightness and chest pain, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, combined with the corresponding examination to clarify the cause, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
