Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'd like to ask, what tests are done to check for a heart attack?Doctor's answer:
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a method for detecting myocardial infarction. The treatment principle should focus on protecting and maintaining heart function, salvaging, and ensuring that patients not only survive the acute phase but also receive the best possible care. Coronary angiography can directly display the entire coronary arteries, clearly showing the number of affected vessel branches, the degree and length of stenosis, and the characteristics of the lesions. This provides a comprehensive view of the coronary arteries, enabling the formulation of the optimal treatment plan.
