What medicine does the heart take after stenting

summary

As one of the most effective methods for the treatment of coronary heart disease, coronary stent can significantly improve the symptoms of patients and improve the quality of life, and it is relatively easy, with small trauma, high success rate, fast postoperative recovery and short hospital stay, so it has become an important treatment for coronary heart disease. But stent is not once and for all, especially in winter, the season of high incidence of cardiovascular disease, patients should strengthen their own health care to avoid recurrence. I'd like to share with you what medicine I'll take after making a heart stent.

What medicine does the heart take after stenting

First of all: after the stent surgery, many people think that everything will be fine. After the stent is made, the blood vessels are opened, and the original ischemic myocardium gets blood supply, and the condition is relieved. However, coronary heart disease can not be cured, because the stent can not play a role in the treatment and prevention of the growth of coronary atherosclerotic plaque. The causes of cardiovascular disease are still at work. Obstruction may occur and cardiovascular events may recur.

Second, the heart's arteries, like tree roots, have multiple branches, and stents are selectively implanted into one or two branches. Therefore, even if the stent implanted artery is no longer narrow, it can not guarantee that the artery without stent will not narrow in the future, or even the atherosclerotic plaque in the artery will rupture and block the artery (forming acute myocardial infarction). In addition, stent implantation itself will cause damage to the local coronary artery intima, which is easy to form thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia in the local area, leading to acute or chronic restenosis of the local coronary artery.

Finally: it can be seen that implantation of stent or bypass does not mean recovery of coronary heart disease. In fact, the current level of medical development can not cure coronary heart disease. A variety of drug or non drug treatment measures are only to achieve remission of symptoms. For the purpose of delaying the development of the disease, patients with stent implantation or bypass should usually receive regular drug treatment according to the standard.

matters needing attention

In addition, basic treatment is also very important, which includes diet control, reasonable exercise and other good lifestyle. Drug treatment, including the use of blood glucose control, blood lipid, blood pressure and antiplatelet aggregation drugs (such as low-dose aspirin), is an integral part of the long-term treatment of coronary heart disease (secondary prevention of coronary heart disease). After cardiac stenting, we should pay attention to the details and keep calm.
