Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking, what should I do if atrial fibrillation and premature beats caused by rheumatic heart disease lead to a stroke?Doctor's answer:
The solutions for both cerebral embolism and cerebral infarction are the same, but the causes of the diseases differ, and there are slight differences in treatment. For patients who experience cerebral embolism due to atrial fibrillation, anticoagulant treatment must be administered because there may be a thrombus in the heart, and prevention work must also be done to prevent the occurrence of embolism events. If the number is large, it can be life-threatening, and it may also block the blood vessels of the heart.
