Patient's question:
Doctor, my father is 61 years old this year. Recently, my father has often experienced chest pain and shortness of breath. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that he has coronary heart disease. I would like to ask, what should general patients with coronary heart disease do?Doctor's answer:
Coronary heart disease is generally more common in the elderly. This disease severely threatens the patients' physical health and life safety. Patients need to pay attention to many matters in daily life, carry nitroglycerin with them to prevent sudden attacks. For mild and moderate coronary artery stenosis, medication is usually used for treatment, but severe stenosis requires coronary stent placement or surgical treatment.
