Patient's question:
Grandpa is 72 years old this year. Since this spring, he has been feeling weak and dizzy. His heart also hurts occasionally, making it difficult for him to walk. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as rheumatic heart disease. Which hospital is the best for treating rheumatic heart disease?Doctor's answer:
Considering the elderly have repeatedly experienced rheumatic heart disease, it has currently surpassed the stage of heart failure. After multiple occurrences of heart failure, the patient's quality of life has significantly improved, primarily in terms of increased work tolerance, and there is still a risk of experiencing shortness of breath. Proper medical treatment is essential for this condition. Cardiology departments in general hospitals can provide treatment for heart failure. If surgery is required, it is necessary to go to a major specialized hospital.
