What should I pay attention to after heart stent surgery?

It seems to be a joke, but it reflects that patients with heart disease do not have enough knowledge about coronary heart disease stents. What are the precautions and risks after heart stent surgery, everyone still has a little understanding.

1. What is coronary heart disease?

Full name: Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart myocardium. Atherosclerotic plaque occurs in the coronary arteries, which causes stenosis of the lumen to restrict blood flow and insufficient blood supply to the myocardium.

2. Who is prone to coronary heart disease?

High blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, smoking, obesity, the elderly, lack of exercise, family inheritance, fatigue, stress, staying up all night, etc.

3. What are the symptoms of coronary heart disease?

Chest tightness and chest pain; the size of the palm behind the sternum in the middle part of the body is accompanied by compression and constriction.

4. How is coronary heart disease diagnosed?

Symptoms + ECG (myocardial radionuclide scan, exercise treadmill test, coronary CTA, etc.)

5. How to identify the risk of coronary heart disease?

Risk stratification of coronary heart disease: high-risk/medium-risk/low-risk, judged by symptoms and electrocardiogram at the onset.

6. How to treat patients with coronary heart disease?

Medical treatment is the cornerstone, and the disease requires a stent.

7. Can stenting cure coronary heart disease?

No, it can only solve the severe stenosis accumulated in the past few years in a certain segment.

8. Do I still need to take medication after stent operation?

Medications must be taken. Medications are required after the stent to ensure patency, and other coronary artery diseases that are not implanted with stents also require medication to maintain stability.

10. Can I not eat greasy food if I have coronary heart disease?

Restriction, but not absolute, must be based on a comprehensive judgment based on the amount of activity and calories consumed every day.
