Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm sorry to inform you that my father has unfortunately developed cardiopulmonary encephalopathy. I would like to understand whether this condition is particularly severe. What is the likelihood of cardiopulmonary encephalopathy being alleviated? What is the best screening method for cardiopulmonary encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
Cor pulmonale is not a particularly severe disease in clinical diagnosis. The new term is called pulmonary heart disease, which refers to heart disease caused by pulmonary artery hypertension due to recurrent problems in the lung tissue. It is a disease of both cardiovascular medicine and respiratory medicine. Patients may experience coughing and difficulty breathing. The main treatment principle is to control infection and provide symptomatic treatment, such as arrhythmia or weakness. Then, patients can rest in bed and receive oxygen, but there is no particularly effective method.
