Patient's question:
My father is almost 70 years old. He has coronary heart disease and is currently being treated. However, I am very worried that he may not be able to stay with us anymore. I really want to know how much longer he can live and if he can be cured.Doctor's answer:
Coronary heart disease is not an incurable illness. Currently, as long as standardized treatment is provided and active cooperation is maintained to control the condition, the heart function will not be significantly affected, and it is still possible to live a healthy and long life like a normal person. It is essential to maintain normal blood pressure at all times, and if high blood pressure reoccurs, active measures should be taken. A well-balanced diet should be followed to prevent obesity and weight gain. The total calorie intake from daily bowel movements should not be excessively high.
