Features: Due to advancements in the early diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, many heart disease patients, although not cured, have experienced symptom relief and extended lifespans. As a result of the reduced mortality rate and prolonged lifespan among heart disease patients, the number of elderly heart disease patients has increased, leading to rapid development in rehabilitation therapy. Currently, rehabilitation therapy has become an important component of "secondary prevention" for heart disease patients and the prevention of recurrent heart disease. In addition to discussing the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease in depth and introducing relevant progress, this book also focuses on rehabilitation therapy for heart disease. While introducing the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of each disease, clinical case discussions are provided for each disease, allowing readers to combine theory with practice. This book is compiled based on the clinical experience of the authors working in medical schools and grassroots hospitals for decades. Therefore, it is an extremely valuable reference book for internal medicine physicians, especially doctors at various levels in grassroots hospitals, as well as community healthcare workers. It also provides significant guidance for heart disease patients in understanding their condition, cooperating with doctors for rational medication, and selecting appropriate rehabilitation therapies for their individual circumstances.
