Features: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a condition caused by abnormalities in the coronary arteries of the heart, leading to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. This can result in angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and even sudden death. CHD primarily affects middle-aged and elderly individuals over 40, with a higher prevalence in males than females. The average incidence rate increases with age. Its symptoms are diverse and can sometimes be easily misdiagnosed. Therefore, early accurate diagnosis and appropriate post-treatment care are crucial for stabilizing acute conditions, slowing disease progression, and promoting recovery. To meet the needs of patients and their families for knowledge on the prevention, treatment, and management of CHD, the authors have consulted extensive medical literature and written this book. The book focuses on the prevention and management of CHD, providing readers with relevant knowledge in the form of "what to do" and "what to avoid" regarding medical treatment, medication, psychological well-being, exercise, and diet. The content is simple, easy to understand, and highly practical, making it an excellent health guide for patients with CHD and their families.
