Patient's question:
My relative often experiences symptoms of palpitations and a fast heartbeat, with the heartbeat sound being too rapid. They have undergone thorough examinations at a nearby hospital, and the results indicated myocardial ischemia. My relative has poor habits such as smoking and drinking beer. Hello, what is myocardial ischemia?Doctor's answer:
According to the specific description, myocardial ischemia is mostly caused by coronary artery hardening, high blood lipids, and high blood pressure, which generally require lifelong medication. Diseases such as high blood sugar are risk factors. It is recommended to consult the cardiology department, check blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar, and appropriately control risk factors based on the results. Myocardial ischemia can be treated with nitroglycerin. Pay attention to diet in daily life, with a focus on low-fat foods and maintaining a light diet.
