How to deal with heart blockage abroad

Blockage in the heart is extremely harmful to health and is an important cause of angina pectoris and coronary heart disease. When this happens in China, it can be treated with heart stents. This type of heart stent treatment is not a particularly outdated method. Many Chinese people have certain misunderstandings about this treatment. Among some similar diseases abroad, many patients also need this treatment.

It is a complete misunderstanding to say that this technology has been eliminated abroad. Heart stents have saved many patients in the acute phase. For patients with acute myocardial infarction, time is life. The earlier the blood vessels are opened, the better the treatment effect. Inserting a stent to open the blood vessels is the most effective method. This technology is one of the common methods for treating coronary heart disease and has become very mature both at home and abroad.

Is the heart stent a “time bomb” buried in the body?

Now the fourth generation of stents are biodegradable biological stents, which are of course more expensive. In short, this technology is constantly improving, with clinical side effects becoming smaller and smaller and postoperative effects becoming better and better. It is a mature technology that is fully recognized both at home and abroad. The statement in the post that re-blockage will occur after installing a stent is absolutely alarmist.

Either he died from the stent or from the medicine?

There is also a misunderstanding about taking medication for life. There are three main clinical treatments for coronary heart disease: drugs, stents and heart bypass surgery. Of course, regardless of whether stents or bypass surgery are used, drugs are used at the same time. Of course, patients with coronary heart disease have to take medication for life to regulate blood viscosity. Commonly used drugs include five types of drugs, such as aspirin, some of which are calcium channel blockers, some are thrombolytic drugs, and some are for regulating blood lipids. The main function of aspirin is to fight platelets. Even if you don't have a stent, you still have to take it for a long time; those who have had a bypass surgery also have to take it. Saying that aspirin causes cancer is a joke from people who have absolutely no medical knowledge at all.

After the surgery, is it a permanent solution?

Surgery mainly plays a role in relieving symptoms and stabilizing the condition. In order to achieve good results, postoperative care cannot be ignored. In addition to taking medications regularly, you should rest more after the operation and do some exercise, such as walking, but not strenuous exercise; arrange your diet scientifically to ensure an appropriate intake of fruits, vegetables, and low-fat, high-protein foods; drink in small amounts, or preferably no alcohol; those who must socialize should not drink more than 50 ml per day, and smoking is strictly prohibited; regular physical examinations are still required after the operation to facilitate timely treatment by the doctor.
