Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I always feel uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medicine to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medicine. Is it possible that I have coronary artery ischemic cardiomyopathy?Doctor's answer:
Coronary ischemic cardiomyopathy is essentially coronary heart disease, primarily caused by the stenosis or hardening of coronary arteries, leading to slow blood flow and chest pain due to myocardial ischemia. If the pain recurs, one must immediately rest and avoid any physical activity. Sublingual administration of nitroglycerin or other coronary artery dilating medications like should be promptly taken to alleviate myocardial ischemia and reduce pain. If this is ineffective, it is crucial to call 120 for immediate medical attention.
