Patient's question:
I'm already quite old, and I have coronary heart disease, but I still hope to stay healthy and live a couple of more years, so I'd like to ask what are the medication guidelines for patients with coronary heart disease?Doctor's answer:
The core of drug therapy for coronary heart disease is antiplatelet and lipid-lowering treatment. Currently, aspirin is the most widely used antiplatelet drug, and lipid-lowering therapy mainly refers to statins, including rosuvastatin, pitavastatin, etc. If a coronary heart disease patient has a myocardial infarction, the patient also needs to take angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. If the patient repeatedly experiences heart failure after myocardial infarction, they can also participate in aldosterone antagonists.
