Patient's question:
My grandmother has been feeling unwell recently. She has undergone thorough examinations at many pet hospitals or traditional Chinese medicine clinics, and they said it might be coronary heart disease. As ordinary people, we are not familiar with these terms, so I hope to get a professional explanation and learn how much of the coronary artery stenosis is actually coronary heart disease?Doctor's answer:
The patient needs to undergo a coronary angiography, which is currently the gold standard for diagnosing coronary heart disease. It can clearly determine whether there is stenosis in the coronary arteries, the degree and extent of stenosis, and the location. It can also further guide the measures to be adopted for treatment. Magnetic resonance and intravascular magnetic resonance, cardiac magnetic resonance, can perform a detailed examination of the activity of the heart wall, left ventricular function, morphology, and implementation. This method is one of the most commonly used examination techniques currently.
