Patient's question:
My husband has been looking particularly unwell recently, and he sometimes experiences recurrent symptoms of heart palpitations. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as coronary heart disease with myocardial ischemia. Doctor, how serious is coronary heart disease with myocardial ischemia?Doctor's answer:
Coronary heart disease is the full name of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. The essence of this disease is the stenosis of the coronary arteries. The severity of coronary heart disease is related to the degree of stenosis of the coronary arteries. Generally, if the stenosis degree is below 50%, the degree of cerebral edema in patients is not serious. If it is between 50% and 75%, some drugs to stabilize cardiac ischemia need to be taken. If it is below 75%, the degree of cardiac ischemia is already very serious, and it is recommended to implement stent treatment.
