How is a recurrent myocardial infarction treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to ask a few questions about how to treat a heart attack. My mother had an episode of heart attack a few weeks ago. She had a heart attack two years ago and now the recurrence feels more severe than before. She is currently being treated in the hospital. Due to the timely treatment, her recovery is quite good, but now she has incontinence of urine and feces.

Doctor's answer:

If the condition has recurred again, it is recommended to still decide to implement the placement of stents as soon as possible for treatment. Otherwise, there may still be a recurrence. Moreover, it can easily lead to sudden death. To avoid these risks, it is important to ensure good emotional well-being, not to overexert oneself, and to ensure good rest, which will reduce the likelihood of another heart attack.
