Patient's question:
How to read the ECG of cor pulmonale? My father-in-law has poor cardiovascular health, and the doctor also said not to provoke him, and to take medication long-term.Doctor's answer:
Glad to serve you. The electrocardiogram of cor pulmonale may show pulmonary P waves, arrhythmias, or insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle. If you have cor pulmonale, you may enter the stage of cardiopulmonary decompensation, where your stamina for physical exertion is significantly limited, you may experience shortness of breath, and your exercise intensity needs to be reduced. Oxygen therapy may be necessary at times, and long-term home oxygen therapy is very beneficial for patients. It is important to enhance your immunity, prevent colds, and eat more green vegetables and fruits.
