Patient's question:
My grandfather is 70 years old this year, and he has been in good health. However, on his birthday this year, he suddenly fainted. We didn't know what was wrong and quickly called 120 to take him to the hospital. The doctor said he had a severe arterial embolism and wanted to consult about what to do about a severe arterial embolism.Doctor's answer:
Now the elderly are already 70 years old, rest assured, the best choice for arterial embolism is conservative treatment because the surgical risk is too high. The elderly need long-term attention to a low-salt, low-fat diet, and regular daily activities are required. Statin lipid-lowering drugs and antiplatelet agents can be administered, and long-term medication should not be interrupted. At the same time, data such as blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure should be monitored irregularly to ensure they are at ideal levels.
