This book integrates the scientific knowledge of medical experts on prevention and treatment of diseases with specific measures for patients' health preservation and recovery. From the perspective of patients, it reveals that while illness is inevitable, the initiative to conquer it lies in their own hands; it points out the importance of self-care after recovery and the courage to fight the disease; and it introduces specific methods and measures for health preservation, recovery, and improving quality of life. Compared to developed Western countries, although the incidence of coronary heart disease remains relatively low in China, it is on the rise. In some major urban centers, the proportion of coronary heart disease-related deaths has increased 2-4 times since the 1970s, making it a significant killer threatening our health and life. Many coronary heart disease patients are in their prime career years, and many families have spent significant human and financial resources on long-term treatment, leading to a decline in quality of life. Faced with such a critical disease, patients and their families urgently need to understand relevant medical scientific knowledge about coronary heart disease. However, many existing books on the treatment of coronary heart disease are highly specialized, making them difficult for non-medical professionals to fully comprehend, while articles and magazines provide incomplete information. Patients desperately need a book written entirely for them. This book is written for patients and their families, not for medical professionals.
