Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I take medication regularly to control it, the effect isn't very noticeable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me what are the ways to alleviate ischemic cardiomyopathy in the elderly?Doctor's answer:
If the elderly have myocardial ischemia, this condition is generally considered to be caused by coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. For the severity of the condition, it is necessary to promptly perform a cardiac angiography to better assess the situation. In some cases, depending on the condition, it may be necessary to implement a coronary stent implantation surgery, which can still achieve relatively good results.
