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'd like to ask, what should patients with myocardial infarction pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
A heart attack is a critical condition related to heart disease, primarily caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, leading to the blockage of coronary blood vessels and subsequent myocardial ischemia. If a heart attack occurs early, thrombolytic therapy can be administered. During the acute phase, medications that promote blood circulation and resolve stagnation, as well as those that stabilize heart blood supply, can be used. Additionally, it is important to rest more during daily life. If conditions such as hypertension or diabetes are present, medications should be taken to control these conditions within normal levels.
