Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my father is 63 years old this year. My father's health is not very good, and a thorough examination has revealed the problem of coronary heart disease. I would like to understand a few general coronary heart disease that causes chest tightness, and need to identify which diseases need to be differentiated from it?Doctor's answer:
Got coronary heart disease, it's essential to go to a regular large hospital for timely treatment, because this disease may cause angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, or even the possibility of sudden death. The risk factors that trigger coronary heart disease mainly include high blood pressure, high blood lipids, smoking, etc. The diseases that are easily confused with coronary heart disease mainly include myocarditis and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Coronary angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing coronary heart disease. It is an invasive examination. Clinically, the presence of myocardial ischemia is usually diagnosed by combining symptoms with non-invasive examinations such as an electrocardiogram or an exercise stress test.
