Patient's question:
My younger brother suffers from cor pulmonale, but the treatment effect is not good. Now he has also developed rheumatoid arthritis. What are the treatments for cor pulmonale and rheumatoid arthritis?Doctor's answer:
If you have rheumatic heart disease, it is first necessary to implement comprehensive evaluation and care through methods that stabilize cardiopulmonary function. If pulmonary infection reoccurs, timely use of anti-inflammatory drugs is required. It is also essential to pay attention to avoiding excessively salty foods during the treatment of cor pulmonale, as this may otherwise likely exacerbate the condition. If you also have rheumatoid disease, corticosteroid drugs can be considered for synergistic development.
