Patient's question:
My mother has suffered from myocardial ischemia for over ten years. I want to take her for an electrocardiogram. Can an electrocardiogram thoroughly examine myocardial ischemia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your mother has a condition of myocardial ischemia, indicating that the heart is not receiving adequate blood supply. This is usually caused by coronary artery disease, where the coronary arteries supplying the heart are narrowed. You can return to the hospital's cardiology department for further examination, such as an electrocardiogram, which can detect changes in brain edema. Under the guidance of a doctor, use medications to stabilize the heart's blood supply. Pay attention to rest, maintain a light diet, and avoid overexertion.
